[comp.dcom.telecom] Looking for good DISA

jimmy@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (Jim Gottlieb) (02/05/89)

Does anybody know of a decent DISA unit that doesn't use switched-gain
amplification?  Buscom makes one, but their use of switched-gain makes
it unacceptable for data, or even decent voice.

The alternative is to buy a PBX that has a DISA feature, but even the
Panasonic KX-T1232, the cheapest of the lot, would cost about $1500 to
equip this way and that's a little more than I wanted to spend.

For those so uninformed, a DISA (Direct Inward System Access) unit,
also called a "WATS Extender", allows dial-up access to a remote PBX
or CO dial tone.

I would also like to find a device that will take one PBX trunk and one
station, and convert it to a 2-wire E&M Tie Trunk, for use in those
situations where a PBX is not equipped with special E&M Trunk Cards.

If anyone knows of anything along these lines, please let me know.

Thanks...
