A phone phanatic since I was less than 2 (thanks to Fisher Price); collector since a teenager; now able to afford to play!
Favorite Phone: Western Electric Trimline - it just feels right holding it up to my face!

it work with XLink
I am referring to the select-o-phone version. They need a special controller to work.  Beside telephone and intercom, you can use them for automation.  Dial 3 to unlock door, 4 to turn on lights, things like that. ISTR that you dial a number and push the button to activate that feature.
I saw a portable  salesman sample system once,  They phones are really  cool with the controller.

I guess that button was more of an issue that we assumed. Pity that. It's beautiful otherwise.
