I don't have a solution, but I am curious... Do you mean that their
touchscreen PC provides a dry closure to control the telephone or is it
looking for a dry closure to sense something from the phone?

I'm also curious how much control one could assert in either direction
with a single dry closure.

What is the touchscreen PC product?

Robert

The touchscreen terminal system is looking for a dry closure from the
phone.  The touchscreen PC product is one from
Motorola.  I only found out about IPICS (the similar Cisco solution) recently.
