Re[2]: Door Bells.

["Pete Shew" <ukha_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not a solution - just my own comment. I got the doorbell audible round the
house by hooking into the FS2828 PBX (when it's not overheating) but what I
really need is a presence sensor coupled with a delay so that it doesn't
ring when the little b****s have pressed the bell and run off.
