  I need some help identifying a device I picked up from a bank local to me
that was being torn down.  I presume it was some sort of modem to allow the
ATM to communicate with some main location/system.  But I need to figure out
what the heck it really is, so I can do something with it instead of having it
sit around doing nothing.  Ok, here are some details:  the power supply
included has the name TeleTrend printed on it with a model # WPS2001 printed
beneath a schematic diagram that's on it.  The device itself is a
big(1 x .75 x .25 ft) beige box with a removable top half.  Removed, there's a
status panel that is visible through a tinted plastic window on the top halp. 
On the window there are 2 sets of blue blocks that apparently accept 4
probes/banana plug type things to by plugged into them.  The first set of
four, labeled XMT(Transmit, obviously..) are IN/2W, MON, OUT, and another MON.
 Then a set of 8 dip switches labeled LOSS, 4 indicator lights(PWR(SHF), DATA,
SC, and LB), another set of dips labeled GAIN OR LOSS.  Then the other blue
block w IN, MON, OUT, and MON..  I doubt anyone can get anything with that,
and it is pointless for me to continue on with more detail as there are a lot
of other things within the unit.  But if anyone has any idea of what this
might be (guesses are fine), let me know...  Thanks..
