No kidding! I want to get information on AT&T 7500 series ISDN data sets and voice terminals, and possibly to buy some. I called AT&T Direct. They never heard of them. They said that the 7500 series are "probably obsolete." I called AT&T Business Telephone Systems & Facsimile. I called AT&T PBX & Data Systems. I called the local AT&T Business Marketing Sales Office. People at each of these offices denied the existence of any 7500 series devices, although I suspect that some of the people I spoke to were using them. I know the local AT&T Microelectronics office has them. Each AT&T employee gave me another number to try. Eventually I spoke to one woman a second time, and she tried harder to help me. She was able to come up with a ComCode for the 7507 (105-678-304), at a price of $1080, but she didn't have any information on it, and AT&T's national parts center (or whatever it is called) doesn't carry them. The Business Telephone Systems people and the Business Marketing Sales Office people didn't want to talk to me because I don't own an AT&T PBX, or have an account with AT&T. If I were an AT&T stock holder, I would be very upset that they are trying very hard NOT to sell their products. Anybody got a good suggestion for a *responsible* person at AT&T to whom I can write?
