Abstract
Abstract Telephone terminal equipment has circuitry for preventing malicious and nuisance transmission of information by detecting during reception of an incoming call whether or not any person is present around the equipment. Information from a calling party is received without any limit when no person is around the equipment. An owner can remotely operate the equipment to set the limited number of paper or to release the limit for receiving information as he desires.
