Tell) Newsgroups: comp.dcom.telecom Subject: Re: Answering Machine Interrupter Message-ID: Date: 30 Jul 89 03:12:02 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Reply-To: sgt@dukeac.UUCP (Stephen G. Tell) Organization: Academic Computing, Duke University, Durham, NC Lines: 15 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us One of the features of my answering machine, (the Phone-Mate top of the line phone/dialer/answerer, with time/day stamping) handles this problem: Lifting the handset built-in to the machine cuts it off, of course. Press "*" from any other extension in the house to kill it. The model number on the thing is 4 digits beginning with 76... If anyone is interested, I can mail you the exact number. Other useful features are 3-digit programable security code, and voice prompts for "beeperless-remote" operation. -- Steve Tell: senior, Duke University school of Engineering (please hire me).
