I loved their systems, paid my bills for years managing them. Starting
out in IT, I was like a kid in a candy store, given responsibility for
managing our vendor who managed our Option 71, and with the
documentation and some help from the vendor learned the ins-and-outs. It
was interesting seeing the phreaking scene at night on the BBSes and
working PBXes during the day.





.... Is the style right?
