sundance-communications.com/forum Forums General General Telephone & Systems Information Reviving an Ernest D3 payphone, Telelink, LCD

This seems like sort of a long shot, but I'm looking for a way to program a Ernest D3 payphone from the mid-90s. I have a local network of a few WE 500s, 554s and a few other unique phones, but this is the first payphone I've tried to get running.

I think I need to locate a software called Telelink that was used with either DOS (possibly called T2) or early windows verions (as Telelink for Windows) and could program these Ernest phones via their internal modems. There is a thread on this forum from about 10 years ago, but it didn't look like I could reply there anymore.

I can see there is also an option to locate and connect an LCD, which looks like a proprietary part, but that appeared to be optional.

Any help or pointers to any version would be appreciated.

Thanks,

There are a few pages/groups on FB that cater to the community of payphone and booth hobbyists. I'm sure there are members there that can assist. Here's one of them:
