[comp.dcom.telecom] Looking for DID solutions - Nicollet Digitrap 1015 or equiv

allen%audiofax.com@mathcs.emory.edu (Allen Jensen) (01/12/91)

Since Nicollet went out of business, I am trying to find an
alternative to the Digitrap 1015 card.  My basic need is to take
incomming DID lines from the CO and map them in to some set of
available phone lines.  Once the DID connection through to the regular
phone is made and the phone is taken off-hook, the switch (the 1015 or
equivilent) sends down the DTMF of the DID number dialed.


 +-----------+                  +-----------+ POTS  +--------------+
 |           |    DID Trunks    | Digitrap  |-------| XYZ          |
 |   CO      |==================|   1015    |-------| Voicemail    |
 |           |                  |Replacement|-------| System       |
 +-----------+                  +-----------+       +--------------+

(Not completely sure of my terminology - my use of POTS refers to
your standard, just like your home phone, telephone line.)

In addition, I would also be interested in any loop-start/DID
converters anyone knows about.

In addition, I need to find a low cost switch that will take some set
of incomming 800 lines and map them to a smaller set of lines.  After
the connection is established, the switch sends DTMF of the last seven
digits of the 800 number down to the voicemail system.  By low cost, I
mean anything under $30,000 than can handle several hundred incomming
800 lines and 30-40 outgoing lines.

 +-----------+                  +-----------+ POTS  +--------------+
 |           |    800 Lines     |           |-------| XYZ          |
 |   CO      |==================|  Switch   |-------| Voicemail    |
 |           |                  |           |-------| System       |
 +-----------+                  +-----------+       +--------------+

Any information at all will be helpful.  I need this really fast.  If
anyone out there has a used Digitrap 1015 from Nicollet they want to
sell, please let me know.
