Only 12kbps?  Sounds like a Hotline...BlueBox and the TieLines should be 
able to handle down to 9.6kbps.  One nice thing about the TieLines is that 
they'll renegotiate upwards as well as downwards, and will do it 
automatically.  BlueBox will only go down.

I ought to add my preference for Comrex is because I'm considering a 
purchase for WBRS and we'll mostly be in situations that have medium- to 
good-quality phone lines, and the Comrexes are simpler to use (we have a 
lot of non-tech staff)
