I work for the RIT Campus Safety Department and we are interested in placing emergency telephones around the campus and in parking lots. Our problem is that digging a trench to run a pair of wires to a phone in the middle of a parking lot is prohibitively expensive. I'd like to find a source of telephones that you sometimes see along the sides of the road on interstates. I've called several suppliers and everyone has heard of such a system but no one knows where to get one. I'd like a phone system that uses a radio frequency. I've seen a cellular emergency phone system but we would like to explore other possibilities. Thanks for any help you can supply.

Get out of your car and look to see who makes it. If it doesn't say, then call the State Highway Administration. They'll be able to tell you for sure (if you can talk to anyone but the front end loader driver :-) Cheers, Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Cuthie CASE Communications Columbia, Md 21046 (301) 290 - 7443
