[GreenKeys] OT!: telephone switching question

[tony j. podrasky]

Hey Guys;

I had something similar: about 10 contacts per rank
with 32 ranks.

I hard-wired the contacts to ITA#2 characters and connected
it to 2 Model 14 TDs.

One TD became a "Readonly" CQ and the other a WRU.

Talke about a racket, though!
