Modems and fax machines also fall into the analog category. The more sophisticated Colby office phones are digital using technology similar to that of computers. We have three styles of digital phone sets at Colby: the Meridian 2616 which is a full featured, multi-button (16) phone with a display, the 2008 which has fewer buttons (8) and no display, and the newest 2008HFD also with 8 buttons and a display.
