I was wondering through a trift store the other day
and found a odd
keyboard. It's labeled "CompuNET 2000" and looks like a regular 101 key
keyboard for a PC but it has two extra cables with miniture phono plugs on
the ends. One with two contacts and the other with three. It also has two
phone jacks on the back of the keyboard. There are a couple of extra keys
on the board. One is marked PHONE and the other is marked LINE. Some of
the numeric key pad keys are marked REDIAL, MUTE, VOL, OPER, etc. anyone
know what this is for?
It is - surprise! - a keyboard-phone. Those extra cables go to a
headset, and the numeric keypad works as a DTMF dialer.
