[comp.dcom.telecom] Mechanical Hunting Devices

EBILLING@cms.cc.wayne.edu (Ernest Billingsley) (06/16/90)

        A friend of mine recently brought his BBS online, Comquest
(313) 729-6628 in Detroit if you're interested. To support this he has
had eight phone lines installed in his home with circular, I assume,
hunting. Now the circular hunting is a feature with a monthly charge
and what he was wondering is there a device he can install in his home
that will forward on busy?

I told him I'd ask in the Digest. After all, what are friends for?


[Moderator's Note: If I understand correctly, your friend wants to do
his own hunting from line to line rather than have the CO do it. I
don't think there is any such thing outside the CO. After all, if the
CO returned a busy signal to the caller, how would that call ever
reach him so that he could forward it to another of his lines? Or am I
missing something here?  PT]
