[Asterisk-Users] Q: Does anyone have a WE multi-line card dialer phone working with *?

[Ed Greenberg]

I have a similar card dialer - a touchtone five line one - in my closet. I 
checked and there is a good market on eBay for these. Several hundred 
dollars, last time I looked. I haven't gotten around to advertising mine 
yet.
