Does anyone remember the old WU "Grey Whale"? It was part of WU's old Metro service and you selected the bandwidth. It was grey and looked a lot like the early TIE phones. The best part was that it used MF for dialing. I guess I'm getting old ... I remember them very well.

I'd like to conduct a brief and informal survey about the salary and responsibilities of Telecommunications Managers and Technicians. If you feel so inclined, please send email with the following: 1. What is your annual or monthly salary and title? 2. Do you receive overtime pay or compensatory time off for overtime? 3. Are you dedicated to telecomm or is it just one of your responsibilities? 4. Are you on-call via some method? If so, via pager or cellular? 5. What is the size of your organization? (In any quantity you prefer, be it people, extensions, locations, etc.) 6. Where are you located? (City and State, Province, or Country.) 7. Do you have any other comments or information you feel is pertinent? I realize some of this information is sensitive, and any responses will be kept in strict confidence. I would like to be able to summarize and re-post, however, with geographical references (if given) but without attribution. If you don't feel like answering one or more of the questions but don't have a problem with the others, please drop a line anyway. If you'd prefer not to be part of the summary in any form, please say that as well. Thank you for your time and cooperation!

I hear that they are in the Telecom Archives maintained by the moderator of comp.dcom.telecom. Thanks, David Patrick dmp@patrickd.demon.co.uk [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Hey, that's me you are talking about. Yes, you will find Gilder's essays in the Telecom Archives, in a sub- directory therein by that name. In fact I spent several hours Tuesday evening putting several new files in the archives and organizing things a little. One change made was collecting all the Gilder essays and installing then in a directory of their own. I also a bit earlier this evening sent out a new updated copy of the index to the Telecom Archives, and all subscribers to the mailing list should have it by now. Additionally, I sent a copy to Usenet in the comp.dcom.telecom newsgroup. Users of the archives should let me know of any corrections to be made such as mis-named and/or mis-located files they see. The archives is getting *awfully* large, so I hope everyone will take to heart my message earlier on Tuesday and help out financially as much as you deem appropriate in order that this work can continue. Please do not misunderstand -- it *will* continue as long as I am here to do it -- but your help is greatly appreciated.
