I have verified that if I pick up the local phone while somebody is leaving
a message, ECS will stop recording the caller's message.  However, it does
not appear that phone interface C has the ability (at least yet) to
recognize a local phone pick up when not answering a call.  If I pick up the
local phone and press the # key, you just get a busy signal.  So I assume
that phone interface C is looking for the modem to answer first.

Hi,

So now Phone-C can detect a local phone pick-up? Wouldn't that mean
local phone sessions are possible?

Later,
