Capital Tel Systems, Inc ., is offer-
ing the Cashphone pay telephone
system.
Cashphone is updated by down-
loading the latest exchange and tariff
data over phone lines, enabling accu-
rate costing of every call. It features a
built -in microcomputer that can
access all 46,000 exchanges in the
U.S. , and through its central com-
puter system can make rate changes
in minutes. Cashphone can calculate
rates according to distance, time of
day, and length of phone conversa-
tion.
The phone's screen displays
operating instructions and allows for
advertising. It requests overtime
charges, counts down remaining time
for the last 30 seconds, and can accept
all major credit cards. A voice feature
requests coin deposit and additional
payment, if needed.
The phone has a Mars multi-coin
mechanism that rejects foreign coins
and slugs. Speed-dial buttons enable
the caller to order special local ser-
vices such as gas stations hotels
taxis, and airlines.

Cashphone uses the American
Phone Meter Corp. software tech-
nology originally intended for the busi-
ness-phone market to display and
control phone costs. Capital Tel is the
exclusive distributor and marketing
and sales company for Cashphone.

Colnbox control
Utec , Inc ., has announced a new
solid-state coinbox-control system
designed as a plug-in module.
The coin sensor is customer
adjustable for any size coin from 10
cents to a dollar. Magnetic-oriented
slugs are sensed and fail to activate the
control circuit. The standard adjust-
able time cycle is from 30 seconds to
six minutes.
When solid-state sound is incorpo-
rated in the control system, a volume
control is furnished . Small LED lights
indicate the power-on, slugs, and the
time cycle, and an electro-mechanical
counter counts each time cycle. The
power-supply voltage can be either
100 VAC or 12 VAC.
The coinbox is adaptable to and
