Dave, Laurence, others:

I must really have a mental block here, but I do not understand your
comment, "The P75 then uses the flash hook to send the switch the
appropriate feature code."  

Let me back up.  I have Centrex with ACO with Bell Atlantic, and they
have set their switch protocols to understand P-75 codes.  Furthermore,
I have two P-75s with 6.0 software installed.  Now, when I wish to
transfer a call, the normal protocol is to flash-hook, then dial the
number, announce, and hang up.  This is essentially the same manner in
which I would perform a transfer on analog Centrex line.

Now, where does the 6, 7 or 8 come in ?  Pipeline 6.0 software is set
for button 7 for transfer.  But it also has button 6 for conference and
button 8 for call drop.  How would I use these features, since a flash
hook is a flash hook, and it does not seem that I am supposed to hit a 6
or a 7 or an 8 on my phone, or am I?

When it comes to transfering a call, and attempting to transfer (and,
say the line is busy, or the party is not in), and then switching back
to the original caller:  how should this be handled by the operator of
the analog telephone connected to the pots port of the Pipeline 75?  Can
you walk me through that ? 

Along these lines, the configuration software has another parameter for
"Hook Activator" and "Double Hook Activator"  Can you comment on what
these are used for ?

Thanks in advance!

John
