Since my current residence in 2010, this list has become exhaustive<\/p>\n

The top of the list is actual telephones that can be connected a Plain Ol Telephone Connection or the old fashioned DIY intercom. This was what TMOT was supposed to be not some modern proprietary\u00a0stuff. <\/em>The lower the list are the stereotypical “Office phones” that are basically glorified electronic devices that needs a “brain”, a controller or phone system beit a PBX or Key Telephone or a specific Voice over IP server. Office phones and home phones are not the same and\u00a0cannot<\/span> be connected to either one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
