Hello all... I'm new to the Sundance forums and I was wondering if I could find some help here. I looked through the categories and I couldn't find a section for payphones so I figured I'd ask in the General section. Admins.... if there is an appropriate section, feel free to move my thread.

Anyway, I've got a Western Electric 1C style pay phone with a Gemini model "4032-GSIII" electronic chassis. This chassis was removed from service a couple years ago when Verizon got out of the pay phone business.

When I connect it up, the phone gives me dialtone from my Asterisk box, but, when I try to dial, the lady inside the board says "Restricted dialing 911 only".

Is there anyone out there that has the programming information or software for this board? I believe that it is a "hybrid" board, that is, it's set up to work on a LEC provided coin line and use that for local coin calls, and for interLATA calls, it acts as a COCOT phone. It was set up as a "call anywhere in the USA for a dollar" type phone.

What I'm looking to do is at least get it out of the "911 only" mode and set it up so that I can at least dial thru it, and maybe convince it to act as a real payphone somehow.

Is there anyone out there that has the programming information or software? The manufacturer, TSG, was aquired by Elcotel, which was acquired by Quortech, and when I call their technical support line, it is answered by a person from WiMacTel who has no information on the older hardware.

Thanks!
-Rick

Right - the housing is WECO - it was originally a "Dumb" payphone but Bell Atlantic installed a Gemini model 4032 GSIII" smart board into it. What I'm looking for is the programming info, manuals, or software for the board... smile

Thanks!

Check with www.payphone.com to see if they can provide you with any assistance. If they can't help you, I don't think that there's anyone who can.
