[comp.dcom.telecom] Intellidial

a new feature from NYNEX:  Intellidial.

it's for multi-line residences.  it has the following features:

call hold
call pickup -- pick up calls from the line which is not ringing
call transfer -- transfer a caller to another number when you are through
intercom -- abbreviated code for in house calls
three way calling
touch tone service -- wow!

optional features:

call waiting -- ick
call forwarding variable -- the usual call forwarding
call forwarding busy -- forwards only when your line is busy
call forwarding no answer -- forwards when an incoming call is not answered
speed calling 6

the service costs $7 to $10 per line per month, depending which 
features you select...

it's not worth it for me -- call forwarding on one of my two phone 
numbers does the basic job at 1/8 the cost...
