... Ah, thanks. I was seeing more recent messages come through and was starting to think it might be a specific problem with mail from my ISP to the groups,...
Last Friday, 25-May-2007, American Samoa became "domestic-rated" w/r/t the rest-of-the-US, at least for AT&T. I seem to think that MCI-aka-VeriZonBusiness, and...
The Telephone Museum, Ellsworth, Maine On display are crossbar (#3 working, #5 under restoration), WE & AE (PBX) SXS exhibits, The Frenchboro, ME (207-334)...
... I feel terrible that I grew up in Maine and in fact did a high school finals project on Maine state telephone history, but never got to visit the museum in...
Well as museums go, Seattle and Ellsworth are tops in my book. I did Seattle summer before last and went up to Ellsworth for their phone fair (spent two days...

My understanding about the Seattle Musem equipment is this: The #5XB can send and receive DP, MF and RP. If memory serves, I sent 2 each IRRP and OSRP back in...
Duncan, You are too rough on the gang! It may not all be symmetrically interconnected, but the network is (usually) live and gives a good representation of...

... #5XB offices certainly CAN have tandem features. At the time we discussed this, Don offered the view that adding tandem features to the existing one would...
This may sound like a silly question but 'who' repairs WECo circuit boards now? Would it be out of the question for someone from Seattle to contact them and...
Sorry I missed 'The Telephone Museum' but I could find no online photos that other users might appreciate seeing if they could not make thr trip to Maine. ...
I hope. Hope. HOPE to make it to Ellsworth this summer. If so, there will be gratutious photos and probably videos. Of course, this doesn't help you right now....
And get some High Speed internet into the Museum so you can tie all of this into CNET. That may not sit well with the purists, but would certainly open up ...
... Hey, purism aside, that's actually in the plan for this summer. I can come in each week to work on it all, so it might actually happen. Wouldn't that be...
... What really is a shame is that companies that now inhabit the regions where these telephone companies operated don't much care. Back a couple of years ago...
To me, "don't care much" implies passive disinterest. It appears to me that they have an active interest in shedding any association with the past. They seem...
Steph, I completely agree with your assessment. I have observed this as well. The words "telephone," "telecom," "analog," etc., etc. are just not in vogue and ...
... Funny how they care when trying to give the illusion of a well-established company though. I'm sure I can't be the only one who finds it odd to hear, say,...

Something I'm wondering is if any of these switches in museums etc, have any live phone lines going to them so that they may be accessible from the outside...
Somewhat in defense of CNET, it continues to evolve. At least two people have developed patches to the base code which allows progress tones or pulses to be...
