I'm doing some computer prog. for a company in Toronto, Ont, that
has asked me to look into a new phone system for them. It's a
little out of my field, but this is what they want (and they
want it yesterday):

	It's a small company (10-15 people), and nobody is ever in
the office. They all have cell phones, beepers etc. When a call
comes in to the main office line, they want the caller to get a
voice-mail type menu. If you want to talk to Richard, press 1, Karen
press 2, etc.

	At this point they want the call routed EXTERNALLY to whoever's
cell phone, beeper, home #, third party office whatever. And they want
it in real time, meaning, they actually TALK TO THE PERSON CALLING, not
a forwarded message from them.

	The only system I've come across that does this operates on
Centrex (sp?) lines, and it has to come on the line every X minutes to
see if the conversation is still happening ("if you want to keep talking
press 1"). For some reason it can't detect the line drop when someone
hangs up. They think that would be highly annoying, so they told me to
keep looking.

        When they first asked me about this I thought this would be no
problem, I can't believe there aren't a million systems out there that 
do this kind of thing. If you know of one, please let me know at
markjr@io.org.
 
Thanks in advance.
