[VoIP] New to list/subject.

[Chris Craft]

I'm located in the remote, far northwest corner of
Colorado, a place called Craig. (Pre-1995 303-824, now
970-824)  Before sometime in the 80's, we could still
dial 5 digits for local calls, and you could hear the
CO converting touch tones to pulses. Now there's an
Ericsson AXE-10 downtown and CLASS services didn't
roll in here until 1995 and we finally could get
caller-id.  I bet there are some resources around for
collectors somewhere... :) 
  I've finally reserved my office code and am
hammering away at dialplan to get FrankenSwitch
(Asterisk+Vodavi) hooked in to CNET.  One of my
stations will be a rotary dial desk phone built in
February of 1946 perhaps someone on the list can help
identify. (I'll post a link to pix eventually.)
  I'm just wondering which inter-office signalling I
will simulate when sending calls through?  Panel?  MF?
 Who wants to make a suggestion?

Cheers,
Chris Craft.
