I would like to be able to put a remote phone into slave mode. That is, from a remote site, be able to log-in and press any button on a remote phone. This would be very nice to be able to activate call-forwarding on my home phone to my current location. Or, vice-versa to use my office phone from home or another remote location. I can imagine a lot of other remote applications as features (e.g. voice-mail) proliferate. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Yechezkal Shimon (Steven) Gutfreund sgutfreund@bunny.UUCP GTE Laboratories, Waltham MA sgutfreund@gte.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
