It's a 6" rack labeled "[Bell logo] DIMENSION". Has a serial port and

Sounds like a (more or less standard) Dimension PBX, which more to the
interest of folk around here is a reasonably chunky UNIX based system
will a bunch of telephone switching gear attached as a peripheral.

Unless of course you have stumbled upon the top-secret nanotechnology
based prototype of the 'Next Generation' phone switch. B^}
In which case of course the MIBs will be arriving shortly...
