Buscom makes one, but their use of switched-gain makes it unacceptable for data, or even decent voice. The alternative is to buy a PBX that has a DISA feature, but even the Panasonic KX-T1232, the cheapest of the lot, would cost about $1500 to equip this way and that's a little more than I wanted to spend. For those so uninformed, a DISA (Direct Inward System Access) unit, also called a "WATS Extender", allows dial-up access to a remote PBX or CO dial tone. I would also like to find a device that will take one PBX trunk and one station, and convert it to a 2-wire E&M Tie Trunk, for use in those situations where a PBX is not equipped with special E&M Trunk Cards. If anyone knows of anything along these lines, please let me know. Thanks... -- Jim Gottlieb E-Mail: or or V-Mail: (213) 551-7702 Fax: 478-3060 The-Real-Me: 824-5454
