Telecom was a small field, lots of opportunity to work again with people you liked. I bought a Nortel Networks PBX in 2005 from a local company I'd not heard of. When they did the hand-off documentation, I looked at the support number, 1-800-735-5980, and realized that it was the same number that I'd called when I first started out in telecom in 1991! The same org went to Pacific Telesis, Wiltel, SBC, and later this independent company. The owner of the last company told me he'd sat at the same desk with the same phone number and had received checks from 4 different companies over the years. ....
