You have to be OLD to have used these?  Golly, maybe I really am OLD.

There were touch-tone later versions also.  Hooked to a KSU with the
wonderful 50 wire cable.

I remember that our (no dial at all) phone number was Sheffield 2118-W.
(Party line, don'tcha know).

My grandmother's was 46 (no exchange or dial; rural phone company).

Anyone collect the old Rolm (IBM) PBX stuff?
