The world has changed. For five years or more, cordless phones have outsold 
corded, so mfrs. make fewer corded models, and apparently none with built-in 
answerers.

Pan still makes a couple of 2-liners, including 
http://www.ablecomm.com/pakxgoba2ph.html

Cortelco (http://www.ablecomm.com/ittcor2linsp.html and TMC ( 
http://www.ablecomm.com/tmcvmul2phin.html ) also make good ones.

You could also use the Panasonic KX-TG4000 4-line "wireless" system (WITH 
ANSWERING). The base phone has a conventional wired handset. You can use it 
with just two lines if you want, and sell the cordless handset that comes 
with it on eBay. See http://www.ablecomm.com/bfreshipinus26.html

If you're in the biz, you can get these from distribs such as Teledynamics.

Re: KX-T: external feature access on -1 KXTD1232

2005-03-09 Thread Charles Patterson
The -1 does support EFA from an SLT. To make it work, you have to flash the 
hook switch then press 6. That will tell the system to pass the flash on to 
the co line.

If you want to retire the TD1232, you could consider upgrading to the new 
TDA series. You will be able to keep the same phones and get some new 
features.  Or if you are a do-it-yourselfer and you are already familiar 
with the 1232, you could consider just upgrading your cabinet to the recent 
version -7 (or -6).   Then from the user point of view, all the operations 
would stay the same.

KX-T: Panasonic Factoid #2

2005-03-09 Thread Joe Childs
Washington Parts is not in Washington 

After my last few orders took an exceptionally long time to place due to poor
line quality and a percieved "accent barrier", I just asked the nice lady "where
are you anyway". The answer was Manila, Phillipines.  The warehouse is still in
WA but the person yer talking to is half a world away.

I can't imagine not being able to say to a caller, "hold on a sec while I go out
back and check"

I recently needed to have a Sony home-theater  receiver repaired. It took 
longer than I expected to come back, so I called to check on it.

I spoke to someone in Massachusetts, who told me "your receiver is either in 
New Jersey or Mexico. We're not sure."

They will sell buy all the ones left and get the ca$hReward bucks, and sit
on them until someone here or abroad is desperate for one!
