I got the latest catalog of Hello Direct (Spring, 1991).  On pages 28
and 29, Hello Direct announces AT&T Partner phone system.  If you have
two to four outside lines and four to six extensions, this is the
ideal system at an affordable price.

My question is: there is no specification included.  I don't want to
call them and have them recite the specs over the phone.  Does any one
know the specs of the Partner system?  For example, can it use
existing RJ-11/RJ-14 jacks?  Can a different phone set (i.e. a
Panasonic Easa-Phone series set) be connected to the jack as analog
set?  What is "extension wiring kit"?  Is it a PBX, KSU, or Hybrid?
And so on and on.

It's interesting that I haven't heard of this system.  Does anyone
know when it was first produced or is it truely a new product?
