Re: I need a doorbell!!!

[Pete Shew <pslists@xxxxxxxxx>]

We've got a bit of a rambling house so I felt the need for a PBX early
on. The FS2828 I started with had a doorbell input to ring the phones,
but that died, so I rebuilt it with a PIC16F877 as the heart and it
still rings the phones when the "knock down ginger" oiks push the
bell
(PIR sensor addition as work in progress). Asterisk? OK, but POTS is
much cheaper in the house and one "exchange line" goes to a
Linksys VOIP
adapter.
