Abstract

A remote actuated command circuit establishes telephone communications between a communications device at a remote location and a local communications terminal device without interference from a telephone answering machine connected to the incoming telephone line. The remote actuated command circuit establishes these communications when it receives from the remote communications device a predetermined signal not normally available to a telephone user.
