Ah!  Thanks.

But if I understand, that would determine whether we only had a wireless 
PAX trunk network within the show or also had access to CNET.

APA-III-4.

These definitely do.  However they were "MDed" about a year ago so you 
may not find much about them on their site.

Actually, this has 3 FXS ports and 1 configurable FXO/FXS port.  Since 
the spec sheet gives information about DTMF but not about DP, I doubt it 
supports DP.
