[asterisk-users] How many lines do you use.

I have five line appearances on the Snom190 on my desk.  I regularly
use two line appearances, and on occasion, I have used three to juggle
back and forth between calls.

I would guess that a busy receptionist might have to use up to 6 line
appearances all at once, but I can't imagine one person being able to
use much more than that.  I think most people get those sidecar units
to do speed dials or to monitor other extensions.

It's an interesting question, though.  I regularly recommend Polycom
550s to my clients, but I would guess that 450s or even 335s would be
just fine for most people.
