Re: Backhoes surround AT&T office in Arlington VA

I don't know about the 5ESS, but there is at least one DMS-100 in private hands:

http://www.dms-100.net/telephony/nortel/dms-100/story/ (site does not
support SSL; change it back to http if your browser decides https
would be better)

Its owner turns it on when electricity prices are favorable and he
feels like it. You can dial into/through it at those times via C*Net
(https://www.ckts.info/).
