[GreenKeys] OT question for the telephone guys

[kf6pqt]

Though I'm presently unemployed, I'm an IT guy... the telecom side of
the house is always a different world!  Of all the equipment I've had
the chance to scrounge, telecom gear never came up.

I saw on craigslist today a batch of about 200 of the old WE touchtone
fones, but I was second place in saying I'd be over with a truck to
pick 'em up. ;)

73,
