Emerson Switchboard
I bought an Emerson Switchboard- and am having a problem I didn't see mentioned here. It rings constantly! When I dial up to get on the net- if it's connected, it rings all the time- sometimes sounds like a "series" of like three rings, quits, then does it again- does this the whole time I'm on the net-
Anyone else have a problem like that with the thing? Or suggestions for solutions to get it to ring only when there's a call?
Thanks!

Thumbs up Thanks to Dark Star
Just bought and installed (took only a few minutes) the csp device Dark Star recommended. It works great!!! I also had a bad experience with Emerson Switchboard. Bought one that never worked and zapped my phone line requiring phone company intervention!

Many thanks!!!!!!!

EMERSON SWITCHBOARD
Hi,
I am really interested in the Emerson switchboard since i had received an email on its specifications. I am a resident of Australia and would like to know if the emerson switchboard can be configered to our 240volt system and telephone. I have spoken to numerous people over here and would be able to sell them quite easily as we have a great thirst for new technology. If it is possible i would like contact supplier to order and sell the product over here. Please reply if anyone has the information i am requesting.

Regards

The Switchboard ads are misleading at best, and in my opinion very close to false advertising. The people in the background appear to be using the internet, carrying on a voice call, and receiving a FAX all at the same time. As an old telephone man I can tell you that this is NOT POSSIBLE with just one 2 wire voice line.

Question Anyone seen this problem?
I just want to know when I get a call, so I can disconnect.

But the Emerson Switchboard slows down my connection terribly.

Just yesterday I was downloading a file at 2kbps so I unhooked the switchboard and the speed jumped up to 45kbps.

The speed decrease I can't live with.

Smile After several months of use...
I have used the Emerson Switchboard for several months now. After I had the first one replaced under warranty (quite smoothly) the second one has worked wonderfully.

It is everything I was hoping for.

It has not slowed my connection one bit. There is a slight buzz, but not bad enough to be a problem. I am bumped off line on all but the shortest calls, but that is not a problem.

I no longer miss calls because I am on-line. I have recommended it to friends and colleagues.

I posted in August of last year. Still using it and it still works great. This is the best $50 I have spent on my computer.

I am going to upgrade to the one with caller ID soon.

This thing is great!

Hi Dark Star, NHow, & all else,

I saw your post re: the CPSCOM.com product, I'm looking at the Auto Alert.
Could you please tell me if you or your friend still like the device?

Thanks.
