        Lucky for you lot that I've spent a lot of time in the telephone industry.
;-)

        What you have there, Daniel, is a Dimenision PBX. It requires a special
operator console, and in some cases special phones, in order to work.

        They're -neat- to play with. A friend of mine used to manage one. If you
can find the rest of it (docs, console, whatever), you can actually run a
PBX of your Very Own. ;-)

        Too bad you're not nearer to WA, or I'd come by and give you a hand with
it. I speak Bell System pretty fluently.
