 From The Economist January 27 1990:

	"British Telecom is selling its 51% stake in Mitel, the
Canadian maker of computerised telephone switchboards. The most likely
bidders are Japan's NEC and Fijitsu, Siemens, France's Alcatel and
American Telephone and Telegraph."

	So now you have a definition for a PBX: computerized telephone
switchboard.

	Will this leave AT&T as the only surviving US PBX manufacturer?  

Yours with an SX-5 still hanging on the wall,
