Buzzwords such as Centrex, PBX, DID, currently baffle me. My background includes engineering and software so the technical details don't scare me. Can some kind soul recommend one or two solid references to get into this area quickly. Thanks. -- Ed Subelman subelman@ttidca.TTI.COM Citicorp(+)TTI {csun|philabs|psivax}!ttidca!subelman 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. Santa Monica, CA 90405 (213) 452-9191, x2972
