Good, the Seattle museum needs more 19 year olds. Have you figured out 
how the panel exchange runs? What is revertive pulsing? Can you program 
a digit absorbing step switch yet? What do KP and ST mean? Why was 88 
millihenries chosen for load coils?

That's easy to fix. There is a lot of information on Asterisk on the 
net, much of it contradictory. Reading through it all and figuring out 
what's real is a good exercise in learning it. If you have time to 
devote to the project over the next few months of interfacing some of 
the museum switches to each other and to the outside world, that will be 
a really good way to learn a bunch of different things at once.

There really isn't any list etiquette here, it's just a bunch of old 
nutcase phone and switch collectors. But I think there would be a raised 
eyebrow among the other readers if any one of us thought our posting so 
important that we needed a cryptographic signature to prove that it was 
authentic. I think MIME attachments get stripped anyway, they should be. 
This is a plain text list.
