I would like to have my calls forwarded to me to wherever I am at customer sites. As most of my customers are large businesses with labs and such I am not at the same desk or phone all day. I would like to call my home office (which doesn't have a receptionist) and alter the call forwarding to different numbers as I move about. I would also need to call and disable call forwarding, which would let the answering machine take it when I was in conference or debugging. I could see that a cheap modem connected to my voice line and a DTMF recognizer such as those available on PC voice mail cards would work. I would prefer a smaller standalone version of this I wouldn't need to invent the software for. Basically a DTMF recognizer that would trigger a DTMF output after a time delay would work. Please e-mail and I will summarize. Brand names please. Edward Elhauge {hoptoad,uunet}!lever!ee ee@lever.com Lever Industries San Francisco
