Dear Pat Townson (Telecom Moderator):

I have a question for you:

There have been several requests in TELECOM Digest for a device that
shows a line's status (on/off hook).

I have several such devices left over (I was giving them as
Christmas/Chanukah gifts).  They're essentially LCD clocks that have a
timer that's triggered by the off-line condition.  FCC registration
number AAD4ED-16155-OT-N.  Ringer equivalent 0.0B.

I'd like to sell the excess, but I fear this violates a bylaw that
forbids even private advertising.  Is there any way to make these
available to the TELECOM readers?

Sincerely yours,

Jeffrey Jonas

[Moderator's Note: We are supposed to be very careful about commercial
messages on the net. There is a place to put personal 'for sale'
notices; however the audience for the device you have is probably
here. Suppose we tell readers to write you direct who are interested,
and you can in turn send back a form letter which describes the device
and explains how to obtain one.

Or, you can send them *all* to me, and I will offer them as premiums
to TELECOM Digest readers in exchange for their paid subscriptions to
this little electronic journal ... just like those $5 telephones given
away by News Weak when they get your money, and not until they get
your money. Kay Graham is no fool; neither is your Moderator! :)  PT]
