Very amazing, it was. I am not sure if "horror stories" is right -
most of the old Bell guys really admired the stuff. The system was
extremely well thought out, considering it was barely above relay
technology.

If you can get a copy of Notes on the Network, do so - it explains it
all, or rather how it used to work. The big binders are quite hard to
find, as they never were to be released to the public.
