It works fine, be aware though that the 3rd port is hard-wired as Ivor
mentioned. It works fine screwed to the wall with the wires leading
straight into a junction box but I'm not so sure how it would fare if
it was on a desk or shelf for example.

It also functions as a very useful 3 line PBX, albeit with fairly
limited features. I particularly like the call blocking feature which
sends blacklisted numbers an engaged tone.
