Hi Bob,

Yes, I have actually used the "Door Bell Phone" thing a number of years
ago.  Worked quite well for the customer in a small house.

I have purchased a number of unusual things from Mike Sandman as well
only because it did what is was designed for and most important, it
worked.

For this project my first question is going to be: What is your budget??
The answer may put the kibosh to the whole thing very quickly.

I will know more in the morning. :-)
