[comp.dcom.telecom] Answer Call Service From NJ Bell

stacey@bellcore.bellcore.com (S Lebitz) (08/01/90)

I got a pamphlet in the mail about "Answer Call" Service from NJ Bell.
This is your basic residential voice messaging system.  What I was
wondering was what system they are using to provide the service
(Octel, Audix,???).  I called NJB but the people I talked with didn't
know.  Does anyone out there know?

Uh, "know?"  Well we don't know but we have a good idea:

ISDN features Busy-Call-Forward, and No-Answer-Call-Forward are the
kernal of the system; They became available (though aren't advertised)
the same time as Answer-Call.
