just looking for ideas. At the school i work at we have a lab that is used after hours. Due to staff abuse we removed the phone, but for security (chem lab) we have been asked to put a phone that calls the police station directly (small town already ok'd) Now here is the issue, we have 8 lines comming into the school. 1 is for the elevator so its a no go, one for the fax (maybe) and the other 6 go into the 8x24. My suggestion i submitted was a red 554 in the lab, run through an ATA to the phone system, that way the phone system can simply handle dialing and its not dependant on someone not using the fax machine. Now my other less expensive option i was looking at was using a regualr norstar phone, the issue there is people using it thinking its a regular phone. Anyways, just wondering what alternatives or ideas there are out there. thanks
