[VoIP] WE 2500 question

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,
Yes, we've got lots of those. We usually get them at Radio Shack. They've
got them now with two, three, four, or maybe even more jacks. I think I have
both the type that is an adaptor block, and also the type that has the phone
jacks at the other end of a long phone cord, thus my "extension" reference.
Jayson.
