[What do I mean by idle loop?]
On the console there are 6 buttons for each loop, whatever a loop is.
When I pick up an idle one (which they all are), I get a dial tone.
Hmm, interesting. I wonder if that means this switch is only capable of 6
simultaneous connections? Most modern switches (from 80s on) use a time
division multiplexed bus that allow a much greater number of connections
(usually 256 or more).
