Customers are Asking About...

Do you still have an Operator "Blinky-Box"?
Telephone systems have traditionally had Operator Consoles with Direct Station Selection
(DSS) Units. These helped to process calls by giving the Receptionist a single
key to press to transfer calls to a station user. These units also showed you if
someone was on the telephone. While these two capabilities were very helpful, but
only one person in the office had a "blinky-box," and you never knew "real status"
of the user on the other end.

Something Different and Interesting!
- David Dick
Here is a link to an interesting magazine and website
that is about as far from technology as you can get.
Take a look at The Backwoodsman. Their mission is to preserve the "old" ways of
life and place an emphasis on primitive survival and the American Frontier. You
will find articles about Teddy Roosevelt, building a cabin, fly fishing, baking
bread, and lots of things in between. If you are looking for a change of pace or
brief relief from the hectic day take a look.
