[comp.dcom.telecom] Needed: Cable Plant DBMS Recommendations

Tony Dawson <tdawson@wheaton.uucp> (09/13/90)

We need a PC or Mac based DBMS to manage our cable plant
documentation.  Wheaton College is over 130 years old and has
developed an extremely diverse and complex telephone wiring system
over the years.  We are in the process of organizing the plant and
want to carefully document our work.

Before we invest in the hardware, we would appreciate recommendations
regarding software.  Our technician is not a computer expert and,
therefore, a Mac might be preferable.  On the other hand we want a
comprehensive application and realize the IBM world may have more to
offer.

Many thanks,
