[comp.dcom.telecom] Info on Hotel PBXs Wanted

ned@h-three.UUCP (ned) (07/09/90)

I have an idea for a peripheral device for hotel telephone systems
that I'd like to develop.

The device would need to interface with the hotel PBX so that it
could:

1. Selectively intercept calls coming in (local and non-local) based
on called number.

2. Be accessible from any phone in the hotel (that's tied in to the
PBX) by dialing some special number.

3. Determine the caller's number when accessed using the special
number.

Is there a practical way to do this on the popular hotel switches?  If
so, what are the popular hotel switches and generally how would the
device be integrated?

Thanks for the info.
