I will be in trouble if that is the case! :) Though technically, one of my lines is from Clearpointel, another one of Fibernetics companies that happens to use the same ip as freephoneline.

They used to be a reseller of sorts of ours, affiliated with Clearpoint Distributing, not Fibernetics. We just ran all their website and support.. that deal was before my time so I don't know all the specifics ;)

You'll just need to visit our registration page again :) Might need to clear your cookies beforehand though.

Yep, we have lots of users doing this, myself included.
If you have any problems or conflicts you may need to change the port of the second line to a different port (Usually UDP 5061 for the second line since it's one up from the default 5060 the first line will be on)

Since both operate on different ports, you're fine to use them both in their default settings! I'm currently doing some testing in the office where I have an ATA and softphone running at the same time with no issues.
