I have six telephones in my house. I'd like to be able to call from one phone to another by dialling a one or two digit code. Does anyone know of a box that does this at a reasonable price? I'd prefer a system that understands both tone and pulse dialling, but tone only would be OK. I imagine that such a system would require me to dial an extra digit like '1' or '9' to connect to the outside line. It should have a "conference" capability, so that when we make an outside call, my wife and I can be on separate phones. Six phones to one outside line will meet my current needs. Some expansion capability, maybe ten phones to two lines, would be nice. Price is important. It shouldn't cost more than, say, a VCR. Each phone has a separate set of wires that all connect to a common terminal block where the phone line enters the house. I envision a unit that I can mount right at that box.
