Dear Pat Townson (Telecom Moderator): I have a question for you: There have been several requests in TELECOM Digest for a device that shows a line's status (on/off hook). I have several such devices left over (I was giving them as Christmas/Chanukah gifts). They're essentially LCD clocks that have a timer that's triggered by the off-line condition. FCC registration number AAD4ED-16155-OT-N. Ringer equivalent 0.0B. I'd like to sell the excess, but I fear this violates a bylaw that forbids even private advertising. Is there any way to make these available to the TELECOM readers? Sincerely yours, Jeffrey Jonas jeffj@synsys.uucp [Moderator's Note: We are supposed to be very careful about commercial messages on the net. There is a place to put personal 'for sale' notices; however the audience for the device you have is probably here. Suppose we tell readers to write you direct who are interested, and you can in turn send back a form letter which describes the device and explains how to obtain one. Or, you can send them *all* to me, and I will offer them as premiums to TELECOM Digest readers in exchange for their paid subscriptions to this little electronic journal ... just like those $5 telephones given away by News Weak when they get your money, and not until they get your money. Kay Graham is no fool; neither is your Moderator! :) PT]
