The main problem is that the switch keeps track of outside calls and treats them as such when done as a straight flash-forward. That is, the ext will ring but not do the auto-answer thing as with an intercom call.
We have a Melco RA-330 Remote Access unit installed here that almost does what you want. It has 2 jacks, one a separate outside line, and a second one plugged into an extension. When you call it, it answers, gives you a dialtone to which you then respond with one of ten programmable 4 digit "passwords". If you enter a correct one, you get dial tone on the extension, and can then do almost anything a POTS phone on that extension can do. As I recall, the limitations are that the RA-330 uses ## to disconnect, and #* to reorder dialtone on the extension. One other problem with the 330 is that if you hang up without using ##, it might busy out that line until its reset button is pressed. I haven't seen RA-330s in a long time, but recently I located a similar unit from Viking. Don't have the number handy, but googling on Viking Remote Access should find it. It's also a lot cheaper than the Melco, a third or half the price. Integrating it with VM so that you don't require a dedicated line should be doable, but I haven't thought that all the way through yet. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 3/25/02 at 11:09 PM David Jeter wrote: >I have a client that has a KX-TD1232 in his home.
