Real phone men, or old(er) phone men? :-) (No disrespect intended).

"Don't forget things like the other 4 buttons on a true dtmf keypad,"
Having been in the communications business for over 30 years, I have no idea what you're talking about. I doubt very much whether too many people on this board remember the old special use phones with the A,B,C&D at the end of each row. I understand they are still used by the military in some cases. Since no one else has asked this I assume they all know what 4 buttons you're talking about.

I thought I was the only one on the planet that wired from the bottom up and then cut from the top down. Guess I'm not a genius after all. Oh well. ![[Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]](https://www.sundance-communications.com/forum/biggrin.gif) mark

OK junkman you're on, I'm not the only one. Also it's Tip Ring Sleeve...Glad I'm not the only one. Could you mean MF?? Few extra keys there. As far as the 2500 set goes, I can go a lot farther back than that! Can you say magneto!!!

You guys say "old"?? --- drop in off I-70 at Abilene KS for the Eisenhower museum and look at the independent telephony museum right behind it. And to think I remember when it was new. Used most of it.

Congrats, justbill, tip-ring-sleeve from the operator's plug, kinda like a stereo headphone plug. MF used different tones and was primarily for co & ld operator use. DTMF tones are not on even frequencies like MF to eliminate harmonic interference. The A-B-C-D tones were primarily used on the military's phone network for message priority, an urgent message could disconnect an existing call to get a free line. A, B, & D are still used for inband VM integration.
