[VoIP] Switcher in training

[John Novack]

As are several of us!

Even though the 755 is sort of a hybrid mongrel switch, it is quite an 
interesting piece, and in great demand.

Sorry David transported it all the way West. It COULD have come to WV 
much easier!

Paul Wills is probably the resident expert on the 755, and has even 
brought it to an East Coast show.
