I think the delay is so the Toshiba system can proccess the digits before sending them out. If you set the trunks to "Immediate Cut-through" Then you will connect directly to the trunk line. I think the delay may be gone (can't remember), because now it's just sending DTMF without proccessing the digits dialed. No matter what, you have to wait for dailtone from telco before you dial.

Problem is: You Will Lose REDIAL!

I don't know why you would set it for idle. If you pick up the handset, I would think you want either intercom or a line. You can dial a number without pickup up the handset or picking a line. Dial 9 first to call an outside number. Just leave the phone on-hook and just start dialing, as fast as you can.

Speaking of DK; I'm not really a DK person (started on CTX), but I now service them sometimes. Had a guy that dialed so fast after pressing the line key, that the telco would very often miss the first digits. He made many wrong number calls.

Are you talking about the dtmf being played back while you're dialing?

I admit this is not really a problem. If I press a line and start dialing, the digits must go into some sort of buffer. About a second later, I hear the touchtones. If I were to press a line and wait the second before dialing, then I would not hear the delay.

The reason you hear this "delay" is that the phone system is processing (saving) your dialed digits to use, for instance, if you press the redial button.

I was able to get rid of the delay, but the redial button has been disabled. I can live with that.

I never asked about setting up an IP phone. Is it possible to add a card into my CTX100 that will allow me to use an IP phone when I am traveling to connect into my phone system?

Yes. You can add the BIPU-M card for VoIP stations. You will need a Public IP address from your provider. Toshiba's IP functionality is awesome!

Figure on spending a couple grand. The card, the phone, etc.

If you could just put an adapter into a digital port and pay a few hundred bucks more people would do it, but it is expensive to do for one or two phones.

Sounds expensive. Someday maybe it will be reasonable. I read there is a software phone for a PC. That would probably be more reasonable.

Then you still need the BIPU-M card AND the softphone license!

Would I need to have a static ip address or could I use one of the services that can keep track of my dynamic ip address?
