I'm interested in hooking an ACU into an office phone system to place voice
calls. I would rather avoid paying for 1 ACU per line, if possible.  To do
this, I need to be able to switch the ACU among our phone lines.  Has
anybody ever heard of a device that allows this? Or even a good place to
start looking for one?  I'll post a summary if anyone is interested.

	Thanx,

Here at the CSO in New Jersey we have been using the NJ Bell
57A1 and 57B1 Data Units (Acu-sharing arrangements) for about
two years. These units mount on the modem racks supplied by NJ
Bell also (212A's), and allow you to control up to twelve
modems with one ACU (the Bell 801A).
     This is not a "cheap" solution, rather a good, reliable
solution for computer center environments, etc.
