So that phone is behind a Raytheon PBX ?

 

[Westi]

are you trying to hack into it or are you just a very curious individual?

[fedphone]

yes - i am going to hack into it and use it to veto the healthcare bill!!!!

 

[Westi]

I live in Canada so I don't have that problem. We have healthcare for all, the same crappy healthcare for all the people that have not enough money to go to the US to get it faster and better or have good benefits from work to pay for medication you need.
Maybe we should tell Obama that good things take time to develop and can't be forced into existance.
You think he reads Tek-Tips?

Back to the point - its a RAYTHEON PBX ?

The answer was provided by the link in LkEErie's earlier post.

Closeup of above telephone. The IST-2 (Integrated Services Telephone -2) is a 50-line-button desk/wall-mounted telephone instrument that serves as the user interface to Raytheon digital switching systems. It provides the user with a consolidated secure/non-secure communications device allowing access to all of the switch resources from a single instrument. This eliminates the need for the user to have to remember particular operational nuances of a communications device. The IST-2 telephone instrument connects to a switch via a twisted, shielded pair of wires and communicates digital voice and data. In addition to voice and data, the phone is able to activate functions of the switch, and the switch is able to control visual and audible functions on the phone.

How about RTFL (where L is Link)

 

[OldPhoneGuy]

That looks like the Presidential Seal next to the display on the phone. Do all Raytheon phones come with that (said with tongue in cheek)?

 

[LkEErie]

What an advertising hook. The "Presidential" series phone system.

The competition could dig out an old picture of George W. and say that this was the phone he used
now that would be an advertising war in the making.

Hussien O. probably had a 'cousin' that he made a "czar of telephony" and changed the phone system there .....

 

[Mugsiensedgwick]

That's over the line!!! No pun intended, lol

Some folks say there may be a loose nut behind that dial pad.
