[SATLUG] Re: Need Touchtone Phones

[Walt DuBose]

Oh, I also failed to mention that I have a full 8092.11b link to use but my WAP 
has died.

I am hoping to be able to eventually use multiline PBX software on both ends so 
I can run the entire control over WiFi.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Best Regards to All from Walt/ARS K5YFW...hope to see you in December.
