PT] I just finished reading your description of the TTY machines and just wanted to say hello. The building I am in now is one of the last TELETYPE buildings left standing. Just after divestiture we became AT&T TELETYPE then just AT&T, we are now AT&T Bell Laboratories (for about 1 1/2 years). We don't make printers anymore :-( Now our standard products are the 6500 Multifunction Communications Controller (IBM 3270 Market) and the 630 MTG. We are moving to Naperville IL next Feb. providing the building is complete. The land has been sold to developers who are erecting a shopping center as we "speak". About the only things left to remind us of TELETYPE are the Water Tower and our computer names. My main machine, ttrdc, was shutdown last week and we have aquired a mail-server named 'ihc' for Indian Hill Court, the name of our new building. (this is a NetNews-server, cbnewsc) I feel sad that we are loosing our "heritage", but data communications just ain't what they used to be. Gotta go now, take care! Michael S.
