TOPIC

    In the call slip under "options" (available when trying to dial the phone with Newton), what do "!" and ">" in the prefix area stand for?

DISCUSSION

    The characters you reference are special dialing commands for accessing PBX systems. The exclamation symbol (!) is a flash hook command with a 2 second wait. It is used to wait for a clear line before initiating a call. The function is very similiar to a flash button on a phone set.

    The greater than symbol (>) is a special symbol used on phone systems in Germany.
