But there's at least a $20 overhead charge for having a centrex account, so
for 3 lines I doubt it's worth it, unless you make a lot of calls between the
numbers.

Re 116/117: it shouldn't be too difficult. Between two modems on
computers it would be simple - just have to command the modems to
go off hook and then connect. But I don't think you can command a
FAX machine to go off hook except by hitting it with a ring. I'd
be interested in that schematic too.

Jim will look for the schematic and mail or fax copies to you both. If we
can get this thing built it should only be 10-20 real calls on our new line.
Per month. Jim could not find it, but it was from an old issue of Electronics
Now magazine which the library may still have.
$20 centrex charge divided by 8.53 cents = 234 calls. We don't test quite
that many phones, answering machines, faxes and modems per month.

Re somewhere back there: You did NOT have to cancel the call waiting! Dialing
*70 on tone service, or 1170 on pulse service, disables it for the next phone
call. Of course, if you need the regular traffic to get through, this may not
be an option.

We were doing this but it was a nuisance, and since nobody had ordered call
waiting or was using it or wanted it we cancelled it.

I have not heard of this. Usually they charge per month for the call-waiting
service.

What should happen with call waiting is that you get billed by the month to
ahve it. With other services, you get billed by the month, or per use.
