Shotgun technology offers the unique benefit of releasing your second phone line for other uses, while maintaining a very dependable Internet connection. Manual control: release or add your second phone line to your Internet connection "on the fly" by clicking on a software button. Bandwidth-on-demand: Shotgun technology "senses" when you need greater bandwidth for your Internet connection and automatically adds your second phone line.
