We had the first ESS in the late 1960's in Morris, > IL. Downtown Chicago had ESS in 1974. The entire area was all ESS as A New Jerseyan wants to toot his horn, too: Morris, IL, did have an experimental ESS, using a technology never put into production, and it was before the late 1960's. The first 1ESS switch, the one that became the standard analog local central office technology, was trialed in the early 1960's in Succasunna, NJ. This was after the Morris trial, and before anybody else got production ESS. CLASS, including Caller*ID, was first offered in NJ. Dave Levenson Internet: dave@westmark.com Westmark, Inc.
