How is someone supposed to do a sophisticated answering machine
program if you cannot at least duplicate the current functionality
of a $50 answering machine ?  I too was disappointed that you cannot
do DTMF detection on POTS lines.  I am willing to shell out the money
to buy ISDN Extender only if I can use it on a POTS line until
I have something else to connect to using ISDN.  I believe that the
POTS appliations far outweigh any ISDN application (at this time).
I don't know anyone else besides the phone company that has ISDN !!!
