Split analog line & Bypass phone system at Dmark? - 10/17/05 02:09 AM
Hello.
I have a complicated question.
I'm considering buying a phone system for my house and I need several analog lines with Caller ID.
1. Phone system I'm looking at does not support CID to analog extensions but I need it.
2. Analog station cards are VERY expensive for the system
3. I would need to get a second cabinet in order to fit the Analog station cards.
I'm wondering if I can solve this problem by.
1. Bypassing the phone system and splitting the analog CO line at the source(D-mark)
I realize that the disadvantages in this setup are:
1. Analog phones can't intercom/transfer with business phones
2. Analog phones can listen in on conversation on digital phones
I think the benefits outweigh the negatives here.
I was wondering if anyone saw any problems or if this kind of stuff is normal?
Is there special equipment needed for this?
Thanks for your help.
