- I have the TF555, which costs about $110 but is highly configurable. I
- cannot get the reverse modem detection to work but find that appending the
- string ",,,,22" to the telephone number forces the switch to route the call
- to the modem port. It works very well but with the same consideration that
- every call costs.
