That last one seems to be the Inmate-version... I really don't see why they chose to use a different hardware-base for this series... But there is certainly a good story (or a lot of money) behind that decission ;-)

This patent outlines some of the ADSI-stuff by Nortel: http://www.google.com/patents/US6163598

The Vista 350 residential phone had the same button layout and an LCD screen instead of VFD. I wouldn't be surprised if they shared some software code or firmware!

The Vista 350 was ADSI compatible and you could access ADSI "Services".
