I guess if I can get my mom’s DSL modem and router back up and running, I might be able to do that.
When I started with the Bell System in 1980, the ESS classes were taught at the Bell System School for Technical Education in Lisle, IL. I spent about 20 weeks there. The ESS trainees for 4ESS lived there almost a year before they were sufficiently competent to be turned loose. The original 1ESS was setup in the building. Core and ferrite sheet memory, discrete components in the processor frame, a 26-in disc drive that used a belt-driven by a washing machine motor and twin 256-head read/write heads. The program store was loaded over a 3 week period using aluminum plates with discrete ferrous metal squares for each BIT. It was extremely primitive. The processor frame was two 7-foot tall frames spread over 30-feet in length. It had 8K of memory. In comparison, the 1AESS processors occupied the top 24 inches of a single 7 ft bay and had 256K memory.
