Is that an analog PABX in your pocket?

Sure is!  (but I am also happy to see you)  This beast was recently purchased on eBay and is currently sitting in Microsoft's Melbourne office.

I love seeing the old 1950s phone next to the Communicator Phone Editions (aka Tanjay).  In UNC314 we will get these talking to each other.

Brendan Carius and Steve Edmonds are building out their demo environments for Tech.Ed next week, and this PABX will be used in two sessions:

UNC313: Planning Voice Architecture and Deployment in Office Communications Server 2007 and UNC314: Office Communications Server PBX Interop... in Real Time!

UNC314 in particular should be fun... it is a 100% demo-based session - in 75 minutes Brendan and I will get this PABX talking to both OCS 2007 and Exchange 2007 UM.  We will have Exchange providing voicemail to analog phones, and will move live PSTN phone numbers between the PABX and OCS.

In the end it should look something like this......

See you in Auckland on Tuesday or Sydney on Friday!
