Hi Bill, you just need your TN and a password. I have only taken a brief look at this because I didn't really need any changes from Call Forward (always)but the web gui does give you quite a lot of features such as a ring all group and sequencial ring, a list of numbers to forward (I think there were 4) and so on. The limit of 3 simulatanious calls is a bit of a mystery but you can certainly forward to a DID. So the bottom line is that for a small business that is paying for 3 roll-over lines ($150) that SNR can forward the main number to a DID for a less than 1 c/min for under $18 per month. To me this say that Bell are "shooting themselves in the foot" so don't go shouting this around too much as they will change the rules of the game.
