Cornet is being/was(?) phased out of existance.  It was old, archaic,
and cost like heck to the user.  It is/was replaced with AT&T's SDN
(Software Defined Network?), a much cheaper way too go. (Why not use
yourself what you are selling to the customer?).

I hope to God that I have not revealed any proprietary information
that AT&T uses telephones just like everyone else:-)
