Fw: [global] RE: Digital phones

["Steve Knecht" <skglobal@earthlink.net>]

Spokane, a strong prospect, is concerned because 60% of their sites are
schools.  Almost all of them digital.  Fresno has increasing digital
service.  I've read the emails, but still not sure I get it.  This is a
growing issue that needs to be addressed, either by some adapter or via
wireless or something.  Anyway, here are some of my questions:
1. Is all digital a fixed point to point line that is "Up" all the time, ie.
no dialing.
2. How do schools have digital fax machines?  Are they using adapters or
what?
3. Do these digital faxes work without a dial tone?
4. Who in the company would be appropriate to research the issue of digital
service alternatives?  (Jeff D.?)
