[Coco] Bio

[Vern Burke]

Mike:
   I currently engineer and operate 300 lines of traditional Strowger/step
switching and another 96 lines of "electronic step". The individual switches
range from 1928 to 1975 (the real oldies are more for personal amusement
value than real use :)).
   I'm seriously considering firing up one of the old CC3's to collect call
detail
records from the switch and do call accounting. The only bugaboo there is
the limitation of number of serial ports on the CC3.
