[VoIP] Just bought a Western Electric 202

[Dennis D Hock]

John,

Sorry to hear your system is giving you the willies (SP?).  Have you seen
that 500 A/B that Bob L is selling.  I was thinking on throwing in a bid
but figure I won't get it.

I take it you probably haven't had a chance to look into my machine and
build those two stations on the one ATA i have gotten semi??? set up?  Did
you receive my email preoviously with some of the information.

Take care got to get to work.

Dennis

You SHOULD be able to find a 684 for less than that. Or the base of a
broken 302 with one of Ray Kotke's newly molded covers that make it look
like a 684 with feet.
Thing is, without a subset of some type, the phone will sound awful, too
much sidetone, and may ultimately damage either transmitter or receiver,
assume it is connected with both in series.

The bell really isn't the issue here, it is the network provided by the
101 induction coil and cap.

And the later 685 with a 425 network would require a 5 wire mounting
cord to the (D?) handset mount

I knew you were on the ( lunatic) fringe, but forgot you were THAT far out!



BTW - My network has developed a problem that I have yet to solve. Seems
Asterisk can't find certain items, such as my SIP phone or my SIp
providers, in order to register
Rebooting the machine, and a fresh compile have yet to help, so for the
moment, 666 is off the air!
