Hal,

40 years ago my buddy in Tennessee married a local gal. Her father owned the local independent phone company. On one of my visits there (I'm guessing 35+ years ago) he was pulling out his GTE Steppers and was putting in a Northern Tel DMS CO. A few years after that he proudly showed me his new (little) SLI that he was using for Centrex. It was a little rural farming community and most of his Centrex customers had 5-10 stations.

Whatever, it seemed to work for him.
