Skutch AS-55
Automatic Telephone
Single-Line
Simulator Product Manual
The AS-55 is a single line, telephone line simulator,
designed to be permanently installed between your computer and its telephone lines. To
your customers, the AS-55 is completely invisible, but to you, it will be invaluable. Just
leave a local telephone connected to the AS-55, and whenever you need to get your
messages, just take your local telephone "OFF HOOK" and the AS-55 will
automatically connect you to your Voice Card. If one of your customers is already using
your Voice Card, the AS-55 will give you a simulated "BUSY" signal.
If you get the "BUSY" signal, you can hang up the
local phone and try again later, or, you can use the AS-55's exclusive CALL-BACK feature
that will let your customer finish his business and then the AS-55 will "RING
UP" your local telephone and connect you to the Voice Card. The AS-55 even allows you
to interrupt a customer's call so you can access your Voice Card in an emergency.

Hookup couldn't be simpler; you can connect the AS-55 to
either a single port or dual port Voice Card and then just connect a simple telephone to
the jack labeled PHONE. We have even installed an audio jack in the AS-55 that allows you
to record HIGH quality announcements onto the voice card, as well as allowing you to make
tape archives of all your messages. All of these features come together to give you
