Re: DoorBell Fon and VOIP linksys adapters - can they co-exist?

["BruceR" <brNOSPAM@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the DP28CI to provide a contact closure to my Stargate SG-1
controller. By sensing the closure I can have the SG-1 do just about
anything, so, in addition to the phones ringing, an X10 chime sounds
and, if we're not home, an outgoing call can be placed to my cellphone.
If the doorbell rings at night, all the front exterior lights come on
for 10 minutes.  I also can use it to tell the camera server to record
video from the gate camera.
