"Green Sheets" previously provided by MA BELL are history.  We are keeping
our own inventory info now on approx 5000 lines manually on books called CODS.
We keep line/port location, cable pair, call pick-up group, location, bldg,
dept, activity history, equipment & cost, key system or ECTS assignment, etc.

We would like to find an inventory program, preferably for an IBM-PC that would
let us keep the inventory and reconcile our equipment with our telephone bills.

Is anyone doing this type of thing? Are commercial packages available?  The few
we have seen are wrapped around elaborate purchase order, tele call detail or
directory schemes requiring more input than we care to manage.
