Still more PBX stuff.

I dragged some extensions out and plugged into it, they work fine.
I can bounce inside calls around pretty easily. The extensions appear to have
been numbered in an arbitrary order though. I'm gonna read the DLP books and
see if I can change that without the MAAP box. Also, as for the 6 loops on
the console - That's 6 lines for the console itself. The console can have 6
conversations going on it at the same time. The PBX seems to be able to switch
as many calls as you have outside lines for. It does use relays, if I opened
the front cover and dialed I could hear it click as it completed the call.

I also let it sit and run for about 5 hours while we played a card game upstairs
and it worked fine after running awhile. (But after about 10 minutes I did get
a minor warning because the CO wasn't talking to me, which makes sense...)

The next fun things to do are reprogramming the system to some sane values
AFA line numbering and the outgoing lines, then finding a way to back up the
OS tape, and the trying to connect it to the world.
