Phone company (US) and DEC hardware and the mainframe

by wonko＠4amlunch.net

I don't know anything about billing but the ESS and newer switches all had Datakit interfaces. Back in the mid-90s I supported systems that did traffic analysis of phone switches (mainly for capacity planning) via the Datakit network. The original systems were 3b2 boxes and the new replacement machines were SPARCstation 20 boxes. The products were COER [0] that ran on the 3b2 and TDMS [1] on the SS20. The source code to COER was missing which made dealing with bugs fun. Especially as it had a bad habit of corrupting its own db randomly. -brian [0] Central Office Equipment Recording [1] Traffic Data Management System On May 16, 2013, at 1:23, Gregg Levine <gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com> wrote: Hello!

(Or even had the same DEC hardware who ran the phone system, do the billing itself?) Basically the story thus told contains a heck of a lot of holes, and in here I'm hoping that someone does know the details. Running those systems now must be quite an accomplishment now though. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
