[comp.dcom.telecom] Wish List Item

sg04@gte.com (Steven Gutfreund) (05/04/89)

Here is a wish list item that will really give people interested in security
a headache (much worse than caller-id).

I would like to be able to put a remote phone into slave mode. That is,
from a remote site, be able to log-in and press any button on a remote
phone. This would be very nice to be able to activate call-forwarding
on my home phone to my current location. Or, vice-versa to use my office
phone from home or another remote location. I can imagine a lot of other
remote applications as features (e.g. voice-mail) proliferate.
