<h1>Blinker - Operator Connection Splitter</h1>
<p>
The operator connection splitter is a module to accept operator
connections and allow the operator to select one of several
modules to connect to by dialing a further number of the form
<code>*12345678#</code>.
When the called module closes the connection, the operator
is connected to the splitter again and can select the next
module to connect to.
The empty number <code>*#</code> closes the incoming connection.
