[comp.dcom.telecom] Looking For Mid-Size KSU/PBX

dmr@csli.stanford.edu (Daniel M. Rosenberg) (11/21/90)

I work for a college radio station (KZSU FM 90.1 for you Bay Area
folks) which currently has it's very own SxS 1930's vintage stepper
PBX with a couple of Touch Tone adapters. It has around 25 extensions,
and seven (ground start) trunks. While it's still working okay, it is
kinda big and clunky (audibly), and we're wondering what sorts of
PBX's or KSU's are out there that can handle this -- and where I can
get the spec sheets.

Features we need:

o   lots of off premise extensions, several up to three kilometers away
(at our transmitter site).

o   a way to interface easily to our patch bay for calls taken over the
air (like call-in talk shows, sports broadcasts, and whatnot).  This
is easy enough to cobble up on our POTS 1A2 system, but are there any
devices like Panasonic 616/1232's which send normal tip and ring, only
larger?

Thanks for any hints.
