Please email responses to bote@csense.uucp. Thanx.

I need references (rather quickly) to legal action, possibly a class
action suit, in the early part of this century regarding the
changeover from cordboard equipment to automatic switching equipment.

As I understood it, customers were angry about losing the information
of who was calling traditionally provided by the cordboard operators.
Sort of a reverse modern-day Caller ID concept.

If anyone has specific case references, please email them to me.
Thanx!
