See my earlier email - you're not alone. I started off managing Nortel 
switches as part of my job, and once you have that on your resume, I kept
getting PBXes added to my list of responsibilities.

The 90s were a good time to be in office telecom.

I'm tempted to ditch my landline and run asterisk with some SIP trunks at 
home, but I regain my senses.
