John Higdon explains that some users have problems with a hookswitch
flash.
 
Northern Telecom's Unity II telephone sets are quite basic, except
that in addition to the usual twelve touch-tone keys, they also have
an R and an L key. R hangs you up, by disconnecting for five seconds
or so; L stands for Link, and flashes the line.
 
Some years ago, Northern Telecom was marketing the Link phone, which
appeared to be a standard 2500 set with an additional L button.
 
I don't like the Unity II sets a lot, because the number buttons are
too close together, and they aren't concave.
