I don't recall the details, but they had sent out a note to subscribers with a prior warning about it. The phones were probably from the 80's, from a business that had relocated. I think that dial types were included in the no-function list.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-85189817056939725002016-02-29T18:06:47.336-05:002016-02-29T18:06:47.336-05:00Pulse dialing is STILL recognized.

I'm working on setting up a PBX at his house (he has a farm with multiple outbuildings), and it turns out the adapters that I picked up for it are compatible with pulse dialing. Tempted... so tempted. I'll have to see if I can find it.Wolfmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757339335162584002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-51520612661934020282016-02-29T11:29:56.741-05:002016-02-29T11:29:56.741-05:00Smoking hot deal.
