John Higdon's message today on Call Detail reminded me of a witty, very clever ad in {Teleconnect Magazine}, September, 1990. A man's picture, with a caption saying: "300 truckers had a major hang-up, so this man recommended analysis. Control Key call accounting straightened them out." The man in the picture turns out to be John Stenger, President, GBS Communications, Inc., St. Louis, MO. He goes on to tell us, "Telecom problems were hurting the trucking company's business. Drivers and customers were frustrated by long delays and busy signals. So we installed a new Toshiba Perception II Digital PBX with a Control Key PL-300 Call Accounting System. "It's been a big success, right from the installation. The company is happy, because the PL-300 product helped them identify trunk usage problems. That meant smoother operations for my customer, In fact, they have given me more business, and that makes me happy, too." Etcetera ... I thought the part about the hang-ups being solved by analysis was pretty clever, and thought you would enjoy it also. Since I've quoted this much from their ad, I'll mention the company, which is the Control Key Division of Moscom Corporation. They are in East Rochester, NY on the number 716-385-6440. PT
