We are looking for a free/used/cheap frame and punch-block assembly to hold 400D/G cards. This thing runs off a 79B5 power supply. We have an 8-card assembly now, and need to add some more lines. This setup is located ahead of our MERLIN II system. Is there some sort of expansion 'chassis' available? Getting one through AT&T/U.S. West would be too expensive (although perhaps necessary if we are going to expand our system). Also, is the current power supply going to be able to provide the juice for the expansion box, or will we need to get another one? Also needed: information on real-time SMDR for the Feature Module II configuration of the MERLIN II (unfortunately, the local AT&T folks haven't been able to come up with anything). Are we locked in to AT&T's equipment or is there some third-party stuff? Reply via e-mail and I'll summarize.
