So a friend lives in a ~16 suite condo. The existing door/intercom is junk. The apartment sets are as study as the old Soviet Union phones I saw in the Third World -- breath on them and they break.
So, replacement choices... Most such systems use an outgoing line and a speeddialer. That's ~$270/year for the POTS line. With a 100 unit building, that's no sweat; with 16 it is. Eons ago, there were systems that physicaly broke broke the called apt's T & R and rang with local ring/battery. Do they still exist? I was thinking the better idea would be a KXTD816 or such with no CO lines attached. The advantage is, the subscriber sets are whatever the owner wants: Radios Hack, K-mart etc. For the front door, I'd need one of the panel mounted speakerphone/speed dialers. I see them {"Hit #[apt no] to call; * to hang up"}.
