Is anyone interested in using a low cost pulse phone line for Voice answering 
machine, voice calls, voice extension calls, Fax, and BBS or modem, and not  
paying Bell or Baby Bell any extra fees for special rings, or having to buy 
any special modems, or writing and special configs?   If a voice call is 
initiated, you can also XFer it to either the Fax or BBS device in the 1st 15 
seconds via the rotory pulse or tone of the phone set, locally, or by caller, 
remotley.                                                                  
If a modem call is initialted for a voice call the voice line rings, and the 
voice answer machine answers, then when no voice is spoken when prompted, the 
line kicks over to the BBS on my Development line that you can call, and make 
your own evaluation of all four modes.  
                                                                              
If interested in make test calls, the number I've set the device on is 416 
769-5178.  
Page 18 of this manual indicates it also works on: 
        multi-line Key
        PBX 
        Credi Card Authorization
        Point of sale terminals
        Loop-Start dial up TELIX
        dictation machines
        cordless telephones
        CALLER ID Display

Their are about 10 different devices avalable, with the one currently under   
test, being the top end in features and is the highest in cost.  It lists at 
$239 Canadian.  I think thats just over $150 US.  Other devices are under 
$100 Canadian.  
This unit basically locks out the other devices/ports when the 1st device is 
in use, even if its the extension.  If the extension is in use somewhere in 
the   house, it locks out the local hand set, voice anser, fax, and BBS/Modem 
from accessing the line or dial tone. The others lower priced devices do not 
have this lockout and some of the other features, nor can handle all the four 
modes.  Most other devices only do two modes.                      
 
                                                                              
It also allows callers to initiate a voice call, and use a two key code to    
swich devices in the 1st 15 seconds.  This is handy if you'd want to check 
your voice mail 1st, then switch to the BBS to check your e-mail, or received 
faxes if they arrive or are acessable on the BBS box.  
                                                                              
                                                                              
I'll offer Special Pricing on this and other two mode per lines 
sensor-automatic-switchs in a introductory offer shortly ;) if their is 
enough interest.                                  
Again, the test phone number for the pulse line test this week October 30 - 
November 10th is 416 769-5178 if anyone is interested in testing all modes.
