[VoIP] Acquiring a switch

[John Novack]

Chris mattingly lives in a MO suburb of St. Louis, and has SXS equipment 
he wants to rid himself of
I have spoken to him several times, and though he seems uncertain as to 
exactly what and when, you may want to give him a call and discuss it 
further.
He has a 1200 line AE step office and a similar size Stromberg-carlson 
XY office that with some guidance from him and others would make a nice 
basement system of 100 or 200 lines.
As to less labor intensive, NOTHING in switching fits that description.
Some time back I posted a rather long list of equipment he had 
available, so I won't go through that again. From my memory it was 
mostly SXS, though I THINK there was some Leich crosspoint equipment as well
Chris can be reached at:
314-921-6877
when his switch answers with a dial tone, dial 31
You will either reach Chris or an answering machine
You may tell him I gave you the information
Anyone else as well
