Default Intercom doesn't work with new thermostat

om...
We have a house built in the 70's with a Nutone intercom

system.
The the intercom worked well (built-in base unit in

kitchen, with
4 other units throught the house), UNTIL we replaced our

forced-air
electric furnace with a NEW gas furnace and new Honeywell
thermostat.
Now, you can hear the voices faintly through the intercom,

but
you have to turn-up the volume and there is a lot of

static noise.

I realize that the thermostat and the intercom might share

the
same wiring. Is it coincidence that our intercom doesn't

work
when we got the new furnace?

What can I do to fix the intercom?


I doubt it. Suspect the wiring was;pinched and shorted or
opened somwhere, or it was run off the furnace transformer.
Know anyone with enough know how to check it out?


Nu tone is still around, many of the security and alarm system installers
carry their products.

But when we bought our place ours wasnt working either, so I disabled it,
and upon installation of cat5 network I also doubled each run and put in an
office type telephone system, the old paging speakers from the nutone now
being accessable from any telephone in the house....dialing #00 puts you
onto the paging system
