for the phones, you'll need to check out the kit list, I know it requires
a server and some E&M modules and a bit of multicasting to sort it out but
should be sweet!!! Its been a while since I've had a tinker with it.</span></font></p>

Interesting!!!! Looks like it might work!!! But we've already
bought a motorola solution to integrate the video and 2 way radios. So I
am wondering if I could use the IPICS just for the phones and route that into
the rest of the Motorola solution!!! <br>

Thanks for the link!!<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Well, here's the rub, I guess.<br>
This is a dispatch center for a police and ambulance station. So the new
consoles they put in, the dispatchers listen to 2 way radios (from the
vehicles) and must be able to communicate with them. But they also need
to be able to work the phones, of course! If the phone supports "dry
closure", the dispatch system is smart enough to take the phone call, but
put it on hold if a radio call comes in (and vice versa). So I am
wondering if there isn't some technical way to do a dry closure. The IP
Comm thing looks good, but it would mean another PC to run the phones. <br>
<br>
Anyone else have any ideas??</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">I
have a site that has just converted most of its operations to a touch screen
PC. Very slick! It can incorporate the phones too, but the
phones need what is called a "dry closure". Apparently, NO
Cisco VOIP phones have this. I do know that 1 or 2 Cisco routers have
cards that support dry closure, but i don't know if I could still run the phones
off them. Is there a little box or something I could put on the desk near
the phones that would enable this "dry closure"? Or are there
other vendor phones that support dry closure that would still work with Cisco
CCM??? <br>
<br>
Thanks for any help!</span></font></p>
