Please log in for more thread options modem. You plugged it in and when you called the box, it spoke back the DN you were calling from. It could also call you back if you wanted. Company is out of biz. I am trying to get some other company to make a product like this again - who does not matter - just a company that could be convinced there was a market for such a contraption, and at a minimal cost.

Please log in for more thread options Not really out of biz. Digital Techniques was acquired by MCK. Which then
became Verso and then went back to being MCK. Similar to the stupidity of the SonicBlue and GoVideo mess a while back. Anyway, the reason the box cease production as a lack of components. Nortel stopped making one of the parts they used. And the team found they could not produce more and stay in budget. At least not at the time. With today's FPGAs, DSPs, and MCs I bet anything is possible. I guess production would have ended anyway even with available parts because of the management changes. I have one of those little boxes up at work. Still worth every bit of change we spent on it. And does not require an external power brick since it runs off of the power provided by the line card. -- Sincerely, Chris cromero at romero dot org >> There was a company that made a 2616 set emulator - about the size of a

But I think a number of existing products made today could be tweaked to read back the number and maybe much more. Hallmark sells 90 second songs inside a greeting card - they useed to sell cards you could record into. I have a gig of drive space on my keyring and my cell phone can ask me a question if it doesen't understand what I said. Seems to me someone could build a thing that would be as widely assigned to techs as punchown tools are. Just plug into and digital set jack and it can read display, detect too loud or too quiet, cinfirm "you sound better" or "you sound worse" ....and when misplaced, call and tell you where it's plugged in :-) | |||||||||||||
