Re[2]: Re: Fancy door bells?

["Pete Shew" <pslists@xxxxxxxxx>]

The starting point was an Omnicom FS2828 PBX that had that feature,
but when it died, I replaced the smarts with a PIC, some CMOS, a lot of
wired connections and my own program, so it does lots of nice things - for
example my ageing mother-in-law has a phone by her bed that auto rings all
the other phones. Not an off the shelf solution I'm afraid.
