Differences largely as follows:

7050 - 2 LAN ports, 1 USB (computer) port, 3 phone ports (1 of which is
wired rather than an RJ11 socket). It also has a port that can connect to
an ISDN line.

7140 - 4 LAN ports and the USB port is a host for connecting a printer or
external hard drive rather than a computer. Only 2 phone ports, no ISDN.

7170 (not available in Annex A as yet) - 4 LAN ports, 3 phone ports, ISDN
port, USB host port - in other words the best of both the above, which is
why I'm waiting..!
