Media Gateway – a hardware defined box to convert "cyber" signals from VOIP to old world signals such as PRI, BRI, ISDN FXO or FXS (analog) trunks. Despite the move to SIP trunking, there's still a need for failures, fallbacks and those "storms in the clouds"
Media Server – a server that runs on a personal computer architecture, as opposed to the traditional processor networks that would use closed hardware that resembled partially of a PC – on the inside. Media Servers in the 2000s moved from the switchroom to the data center running on almost off the shelf servers from HP and Dell and now is sold as software and the customer provides the servers – off the shelf. Media Servers have the same reliability as a PC, as good as the technology allows. Reasonable reliability from a processor based PBX has gone down a point, and now systems can only run at 99.99% of the time.
Merlin – A Key phone system originally made by AT&T later Lucent and later supported by Avaya. The system looked very futuristic with a fancy headset and the only hard keys was the dial pad. Everything else used membrane and other integrated circuits. Regardless of its sex appeal, it had its dissents. People bitched about how the phone only had a one way, listen only speaker, and one would had to get a $300 "adjunct" to do two way, another was the TUI, and getting used to the membranes, and the destandardized wiring. AT&T fixed some of these issues by issuing a series of BIS telephones or Built In Speaker with the change to hard buttons. These original systems were still in use well into the mid 2000s, now they are becoming more and more antiques. Succeeding systems after was the Merlin Legend and Merlin Magix – but those systems worked much differently than the Classic Merlin.
In the mid to late 1980s, AT&T marketed various versions of the Merlin system. Of those were Merlin 206, a Key system that ran 2 analog trunks and 6 "voice terminals"; Merlin 410, a Key system that ran 4 analog trunks and 10 "voice terminals"; Merlin 820, a Key system that ran 8 trunks and/or 20 "voice terminals". This model had interchangeable slots to mix and match modules if one wanted more trunks or more phones.
Larger models also included the Merlin 1030 – A hybrid Key/PBX system that could run up to 30 lines with a mix and match setup of terminals and trunks. This model would be the foundation for the Merlin Legend and Magix. The largest of the original series was the Merlin 1070. A hybrid Key/PBX that could handle up to 70 lines with a mix and match setup of terminals and trunks. This model would be the foundation for the Merlin Legend and Magix.
In the late 1980s, AT&T introduced Merlin II – a newer version of the Key PBX system made by AT&T with more modular boards, then Merlin Plus followed by Merlin Legend (and Magix.) This system was next generation of key/PBX hybrid system made by AT&T, later Lucent, supported by Avaya. The system had significant improvements, such as digital switching and support for ISDN and later T1 support and some interoperability with their enterprise systems. This system was much, much different than the original Merlin. The telephone sets changed from the futuristic ones to a more solid form factor, though it had similarities to the 8400 and 8500 ISDN telephones. But what was really lame was the keys for the line and menu keys clashed with the color of the set! If you had a black set, these keys were black and if you had a misty cream set, these same keys were misty cream! The 8400 and 8500 had grey colored keys – a real design flaw that was fixed after Lucent took over. The signature ring tones were eliminated with the Partner-like ring tones among the many oddities of diverting from the original Merlin platform. The system went through 7 major versions from 1990 to 1999, when the Merlin Magix platform was released by that time. The Magix system would be discontinued in 2006, to transition users to the IP Office system, to favor Avaya focusing on a consistent platform for all their offerings. Something AT&T should had done 20something years ago.
Meridian – A PBX that is made by Nortel Networks (now Avaya, dammit!) The Meridian is the PBX of choice for the rest of the world.
Meridian Norstar – a common branding issue from Nortel in the early days of the Norstar, leaving customers confused.
Meridian 1 – A platform made after 1990, replacing the legacy SL-1 hardware and software package. Meridian 1 was built from the ground up with digital switching and future abilities such as ISDN, T1 and later IP Telephony. Different Meridian systems ran on different hardware for the spectrum of scaleability. Option 11 would be used as a Norstar replacement, maxing to near 200 ports (similar to an Avaya CMC), Option 21 was larger peaking at 2,000 ports, Option 41, 51 and 61 would be used for moderate enterprises ranging from a thousand to near 5,000 and the Option 81 was the largest, maxing to about 20,000 ports. The Meridian software was common throughout the hardware
Meridian SL-1 – Unrelated to the SL100, the Stored Logic PBX was Nortels first digital PBX, or even the industry's first starting in 1975. Instead of moving parts, calls were made and placed on digital circuit boards and the telephones at the desktop acted as terminals because all the action was taking place in the switch room. This eliminated excessive wiring and enabled the systems to do data switching (popular in the late 80s) This system was depreciated when Nortel would roll out Meridian 1 in the late 1980s. It was not a surprise to see SL-1s still running into the late 90s.
Meridian SL-100 – This system was a different from the Option hardware of the Meridians, from research this PBX ran on DMS hardware, was used as a high capacity PBX. Typical uses were in the government, or an operation that needed complete five-nine (or even six-nine) reliability. Max ports was 100,000. The IP replacement is the Communication Server 2100, still available through Avaya.
Microwave – short wave radio signals used in a form of a straight line. Basically a cheap satelite dish without having to go into space. Was used for the old AT&T Long Lines, now typically used for networking PBX systems, cell networks. Microwaves was used to deliver network's broadcast signals to its affiliates likely though hub and spoke connections. By 1984, with the breakup of the Bell System and the lower cost of broadcast TV through space, the microwave TV side went away almost immediately. Today, most "live shots" in local TV news are done in microwave signals, replaced slowly with satellite trucks as a dish can now fit into a mini SUV an provide native HDTV quality, something a microwave can't really do.
Mitel -Mitel was an acronym of Mike and Terry's Electric Lawn mowers, founded by Mike Copeland and Terry Matthews. two former Northern techs in Canada wanted to sell the idea of electric lawn mowers. The problem? The orders of the electric lawn mowers never came. Then came the long Canadian winter. The fallback? Sell phone systems. In the 1970s and 80s, Mitel had competitive solutions in the enterprise. Systems that were in fashion were the SX series systems and the Superswitches. They made hideous operator consoles that looked like the Japanese made sets. Despite a "super" star status between the Superswitches, the Superset, the Superconsole and it's menu key for the Superset known as the Superkey; Mitel was sold to British Telecom, which almost killed the company. Terry Matthews would buy back the telecom and trademark part of the company by that point being owned by a venture capital firm. Since his 2001 acquisition, Mitel (known as Mitel Networks from then on or about a few years ago) has done pretty well for a struggling business. Some people may not know the name because Mitel sold phones and services to mid sized service providers which were able to rebrand the phones of the service providers offerings, some would call "whitebox" in todays standards. They also market digital and IP telephones, and also embrace innovation and change but separates them from the crowds by not alienating their existing customer base. In 2014, Mitel acquired Aastra (a spinoff of Nortel's analog and consumer telephone unit from 2000) and have since swiftly merged both offerings under the Mitel brand name.
NEC – NEC is a Japanese IT company. It's American telephony roots goes to acquisition of Nitsuko which bought TIE from Connecticut in the late 1980s. TIE systems were installed in many places, including the municipal offices and schools of town I grew up. Popular systems made by NEC (or its acquired assets) are Onyx, DS200, etc.
NEAX – In order to fulfill the Equal Opportunity Policy (and being part Japanese), it's probably best to define this PBX that's made by NEC. Some NEAX systems are in the American markets. This is similar to Meridians or Auras with the multi ten thousand extensions. The most recent digital versions was NEAX 2000 and NEAX 2400. Sphere Communications made a software based PBX, and in fact NEC bought this company as well to build upon their software based PBX system.
Nelson, Lorraine – the woman behind the voicemail prompts most noticeably for Avaya Red's AUDIX, as well as Partner and Merlin Messaging. In 2016, your humble curator had done a special profile on her. She also did marketing mimicking Audix, especially for a CNBC promo stating their then Larry Kudlow's show would return after the 2008 Beijing Olympics ending with the infamous Please Wait. (see Barbe, Jane and AUDIX)
Norstar – Northern Telecom's key system for small business or enterprises. This was Nortel's territory for most small shops in the U.S. Places like TGI Fridays, K-Mart, Staples, Kinkos, TJ Maxx are (or were) among the many users of the Norstar system.
The system was based on a modified version of the SL-1 PBX – the PBX of the rage of the 1970s and 80s by that point micro version of the large beast while both systems had shared common code. By this point, the ability to put that power in a small business (which was a big deal in the 80s) was unprecedented. At the same time their PBX systems, the Meridian became Meridian 1 and had much more feature. This also confused the branding and compatibility. Known as Norstar, the system was known as "meridian", "Meridian Norstar" and probably "Norstar Meridian". By the 90s it was called Norstar. Norstar has now been declared EOL by Avaya now, after the Nortel acquisition. The Norstar can run as an app running on hardware such as Avaya's IP Office. Many places still use Norstars regardless of vendor support.
The Norstar came in 3 types, a non expandable, analog only 3×8 (supporting 3 lines and 8 extensions), a Modular Integrated Communications System or MICS (pronounced as an acronym) that supported up to 24 extensions and over 12 trunks, ether or could be interchangeable, but could not be expanded. That was solved with CICS (again an acronym) for Compact Integrated Communications System that supported multiple expansion units that went to a maximum of 250 plus ports. (extensions, lines or trunks.) The IP equivalent was the Business Communications Manager or BCM. BCM 50 was like the 3×8, BCM 200 was like the MICS and the BCM 400 was similar to CICS. Both were heavy duty PCs, closed off from the end user to provide mission critical telephony services, especially with the ability to do VOIP.
Norstar Meridian – a common branding issue from Nortel in the early days of the Norstar, leaving customers confused and giving VOIP integrators ammo to confuse customers in pushing potentially inferior services while not caring to know the actual facts in the 2010s.
Northern Electric – See Nortel
Northern Telecom – See Nortel
Nortel – Also known as Northern Telecom, Northern Electric and Nortel Networks. The company began after the U.S. Justice Department ordered AT&T to get out of the Canadian markets. Northern Electric was
a direct descendant of Ma Bell, though the rebels came out very quickly, their telephones looked like Western Electric, but with a artsy/progressive look. The company made another progressive move by renaming themselves in 1976 as Northern Telecom. The company allegedly made the first digital PBX, the SL-1, they also owned the industry making the first digital central office switches, the DMS series. The company was renamed to Nortel in the mid 90s and became Nortel Networks after buying Bay Networks for a huge price. The company fell apart after the 2000 stock market crash of the dot-com bubble. The company started to pull strings such as financial shell games and declared inaccuracies of their accounting by the mid 2000s. They declared bankruptcy in late 2008, while they have finished their Going out of Business sale of their properties as of 2014. Their phone system division (including the Norstar and Meridian systems) was sold to Avaya and other properties were ether sold (such as patents) to companies like Apple while other units (such as carrier systems) were sold to Genband.
Network – a part in an old telephone where different wires throughout the phone would interconnect. Essentially this was an early form of a Central Processing Unit for the telephone.
NT – Northern Telecom See Nortel
Octel – One of the innovators of the modern voicemail. Octel developed one of the first major commercial voice mail systems that would be come tried and true technology. Others were yea-close, but wasn't marketable. The company was later bought by Lucent and was spun off to Avaya, which stopped innovating the product and now runs essentially as an app in their proprietary Modular Messaging system for their PBXes. More can be seen on this post on voicemail.
oIP – over Internet Protocol. This is a self-made phrase is the idea of type of packet/service that is getting transmitted over the open Internet. Just add a letter before "oIP". Obviously VOIP is one example, VOIP can also be Video over IP. A lot of times, phrases are just known as IP instead like "IP Surveillance" The danger is that if everything at one point does go oIP, the vulernabilities of hacks can be significantly higher. While IOT is used for consumers, the idea of the Internet of Things for enterprises have existed for almost a decade as ether "IP [phrase]" or [x]oIP.
Oryx/Pecos – The proprietary operating system for the AT&T (later Lucent and later Avaya Red) systems. The OS was developed in the late 70s from scratch as a fully digital telephone solution. Names of systems that used it included the System 75, some versions of System 85. Definity Generics 1, 2 and 3, and it ran on CPUs including the 8086, the 80286 and the Motorola RISC chips. The first PBX that used the OS was the System 75 released around 1984, the last system was the Communication Manager Release 3.0 (G3r v13) circa 2003 as Avaya moved to a software with a Linux backend.
The Oryx/Pecos was rumored for years that it was based off Unix or Unix-like. The system never was or is based of UNIX, despite AT&Ts fingerprints at the creation of that operating system. The mission of Oryx/Pecos was to design the system for real time telephony and nothing else. No 3rd party integration, no user access to the operating system directly, etc. Just to process, make and receive telephone (and data) calls.
The release of this operating system came with the System 75 and served as AT&T's first digital PBX offerings, behind Nortel and ROLM (both were at the party in the mid to late 70s). Oryx acted as the kernel (hardware: switches talking to circuit boards, talking to phones) and Pecos ran the processes (software: phones contacting to the outside world through the switch or calling your coworker.) According to previous accounts, the name was derived at the street locations at the two development plants in Colorado and New Jersey. Most of all the enterprise systems were developed in Westminster (just out of Denver, Colorado.) Now its at some indiscrete location in India.
The system was completely closed to any third party developers to ensure the system could be as reliable as possible. The PBX can heal itself, and if you have special logins you can mess up the system. UNIX based systems were used to interoperate for voice mail, call routing, ACD like setups. Documentation is limited, in fact the only known geekey of all geeky technical discussion was in an 1985 Bell Labs Technical Journal around the time of launch. The Definity series of PBX systems (and systems using Oryx/Pecos) made prior to 2003 and after 1984 is End of Life, so any information on this system shouldn't be a security threat. Just Sayin'. The Museum's long term goal is to shed light on this once great PBX solution that Avaya should be proud of (but with the marketing bias) forces them to think only forward. See Avaya, Avaya Red, Definity, DCP, Digital Communications Protocol
PBX – Private Branch Exchange. a PBX isn't just a system that resides on site. Its a system to handle more phones and use less trunks to handle better efficiency of telephony. PBXes can handle a 100 to 30,000 telephones and a finite amount of trunks. The advantage of a PBX is to better handle costs for telephone service. Traditional PBX systems has intelligence such as detecting a telephone number and routing it to a trunk for the least amount of cost to be billed from the Phone Company. Original PBX systems were replicas of the switches found in the phone company. Modern electronic ones appeared in the 1970s. Some PBX systems only provide basic phone service for tons of users. Many can handle multiple lines per station, handle multimedia, link separate PBXs and run as one large voice network, and can do call center services for customer service or support. Just like any other technology, a PBX has to fit their needs, and many vendors provide different types for different people. The terminology has been blurred since smaller Key Telephone Systems have emulation modes to run as a PBX, and many VOIP punks think a phone system is in house – so therefore its a PBX, even when an Asterisk system can't handle 10 users on one server!
PRI – Primary Rate Interface is a telecommunications interface standard used on an ISDN for carrying multiple voice and data transmissions between the network and a user. In the US it is based on the T1 line, carrying 23 digital channels (voice or data) and 1 signaling channel. Along with SIP and POTS, it's a primary method to trunk between a PBX and the Central Office.
Party lines – back in the day before bridged appearances or call appearances or even a dedicated line, customers, i.e. neighborhoods would share a single line among the neighbors. The phone company would have "distinctive ringing" so the member of the respective household would know the call was for them. The disadvantage to party lines was the lines were hot, so if you would spread gossip someone could overhear even when customers were told to not eavesdrop on the other callers. Party lines were cheaper than having a dedicated line for the obvious reasons of using less copper and less of a burden for the switchboard operator.
Partner – A communications system produced by AT&T, later Lucent and later Avaya. Released in 1990 (with an announcement on September 13th of that year), the system succeeded the Merlin system (even though that lasted well into 2000.) The system went End of Sale nearly 2 decades later, citing the lack of parts by the supply chain and Avaya's push to VOIP to the mum and pop stores. Partner systems were well deployed in many chains and the sets still run to this day.
The advent of the Partner began a breakdown in backwards compatibility. After realizing many enterprise customers were buying Merlin phones in lieu of higher priced 7400 sets, instead of purchasing a Merlin system then upgrading to a System 25 or a System 25 shop would get an small System 75, AT&T closed this loophole and isolated the boundaries between the large and small systems. This also included the Merlin Legend and Magix systems.
The UI of the Partner was similar to the Merlin, basically used on top of a larger PBX or Centrex (think of this as the "cloud") and the Partner could be used to do intercom, paging and voicemail and other departments could use plain ol Centrex phones. Partners were spotted in the NY broadcast networks like CBS and ABC, where one newsroom could be using Partner, another production room could use Merlin and the local TV station could use a Meridian, but the larger network could make all systems interoperable by calling the 4 or 7 digit number, and if you want to page your colleges, you could hit Intercom and 2 digit numbers.
As mentioned, the Partner systems stood the test of time from the original 206 to the Advanced Communications System in 1997 to support T1 and DSL data lines. There were three generations of phones, all reversed compatible, the MLS series in 1990, to a "european" looking set in 1995, to another series looking like the 2400 and 4600 sets a decade later. You could use the newer generation on the original Partner 206 and use an MLS on ACS Release 8. These same sets were compatible with the Merlin Legend and Magix by using what Avaya called the "Enhanced Tip/Ring" or ETR circuit boards. These sets were also called by Avaya techs "hybrid" sets that used digital and analog communications – whatever that is.
Polycom – Polycom is best known for the conference room telephones with the triangulation shaped set sometimes called "starfishes". Polycoms were popular in remote conferencing for "full duplex" communication. Prior to Polycom, vendors like Nortel and AT&T had some conferencing abilities (like AT&T's Spokesman) but it could only work with a handful of people, larger rooms wouldn't work; and listening was horrible. Papers shuffling or people talking over each other would take several seconds for the far end to rebiuld (or just the person themselves.) Per to FCC regulations, only half duplex communications can be used on a PSTN.
Polycom found the way to make full duplex work by developing the SoundStation – providing high end acoustics with external power provided on the user end and plug-in ability to use external sound systems in larger setups, and external microphones for large 20 person plus conference rooms. This became an overnight success, by the mid 1990s, most Fortune 500 conference rooms would have these equipped. Polycom made SoundStations for proprietary protocols for Avaya (dating the tail end of AT&T IS, Nortel, Cisco) and made a desktop version called the SoundPoint. In the late 1990s, they acquired Picturetel, that did video/voice conferencing. By the early 2000s, Polycom went into VOIP and sold SoundPoint IP, generic SIP based IP sets, that act as IP Centrex terminals.
"R" Handset – the proprietary style of the handsets used by AT&T for the 7400 and Merlin telephones made from 1983 to the late 1990s (for refurbished sets)
Rotary dial – the precursor to Touch Tone dialing, featuring a dial that would allow a user to make a telephone call automatically by rotor controlled wheel (known as a dial). The user pick up the set and take their pointer finger (or an equivalent there of) and move the wheel to the right, by doing this it would make clicking noises to indicate to the remote end what number s/he was dialing. If one dialed 1, it would click one way, dial 2, would make another type of click. Western Electric made this line called the 500 series from the early 1950s to the end of the 1980s. It was allegedly invented by an undertaker so his wife wouldn't be awake ringing to an operator.
ROLM (or Rolm) – A company founded in the late 1960s originally to make computers specific to military standards. They later would go into the phone system business. Taking the reliability of their military grade computer systems, they built and sold a CBX or a Computerized Branch Exchange. Their CBX was their answer to a "solid state" fully electronic PBX system. By the mid 80s ROLM was at the top, until Big Blue came in. IBM acquired ROLM in 1984 and quickly vanished in the marketplace. The #1 fight of PBX market share quickly was assumed to AT&T and Nortel. IBM did not like their laid back, creative (read: innovative) style. As the IBM PC was starting to eat their own due to clones disrupting their business, one of the first things IBM did was to kill ROLM's PC telephone Basically an office phone with a 10″ CRT display with a full keyboard and floppy drive. They feared their PC would eat away from IBM's market. Layoffs would occur near the end of the decade and thanks to the computer guys running the show, they missed out on ISDN and Signaling System 7 and when they did get to it it was ridden with bugs.
ROLM should also be credited for the innovation of modern day voicemail. The telephone sets came with integrated voice messaging such as message waiting lamps and the designation strips showed the user how to navigate the voice mail prompts out of the shrink wrap so to speak.
Regardless IBM would sell the assets to Siemens, whom of which would continue technical support. Many local Sears Robuck stores, NASA offices, and some of May Department stores (now owned by Macy's Federated company) still have various ROLM PBX systems. These systems are literally bullet proof and a major thunder storm or a severe surge would likely kill a ROLM PBX. I do not know a lot of ROLM systems, so there are some resources out there to learn more.
SEP – In all Cisco IPT setups, these initials acts as the identifier for Cisco IP Phones known as the Selsius Ethernet Phone. Selsius was a company that made basic office telephones connected to IP networks. (They made similar sets like the one here, but the difference was it was tied to an IP network.) Cisco acquired this company in 1998. Selsius also wrote the Skinny Call Control Protocol (IP Port 2000) and at least the first two versions of a software PBX known as CallManager, the idea of a PBX running on a Windows NT server. Despite the acquisition 18 years ago, the initials lurk around a generation later just like how you see NeXTSTEP identifiers probably in OS X El Capitan – like ol' flames – they never go away! (Why did I bring that up? It's also refers to a woman the Curator had feelings for at one point of his life that refers to the same three letter initials.)
Session Initiation Protocol – known by its acronyms as SIP. SIP and Skype are similar, the former being open and lightweight and the latter being closed and bloated.
SIP is pretty old in age wise, as it was developed in 1996. It became a standard as RFC 4543 in 1999. SIP's basic premise is being an application over the Internet Protocol. It is one of the popular variants of VOIP. SIP basically acts like an instant message client – literally that also included the ability to use voice and video. It basically became an instant standard to make inexpensive VOIP telephones and basically SIP phones is the modern version of the 2500 tip and ring set, on IP that is. Making a telephone call on SIP is much like going on the Web and getting a stock quote or reading up on the latest gossip. Similar to the Web, SIP requests, pulls and spits out information. SIP also uses servers similar to a Web server to place calls to send messages like an IM or fax or even video.
SIP has evolved quite remarkably and now has gone so far to displace traditional digital trunking. It has been used for also push to talk radio services like what Cingular offered in the mid oos.
SIP is an application, so basically if the network administrators properly give open ports for 5060 and 5061 (the secure port) and make sure all routing is going to the right places, the real responsibility is to make sure the SIP server is well configured on the server side (accessing it via GUI or TUI) and the system being locked down and designed with proper capacity to prevent jitter (such as giving the server as much RAM as possible and limit calls to what the server can handle.)
By 2015, most unified communications (UC) providers and manufacturers of hardware have since settled on SIP. In short you can have an Avaya phone running on an Asterisk and a Mitel SIP set running on a Cisco UCM or have any of those sets running as a modern Centrex phone by a SIP trunk provider (basically a PBX in the cloud.)

Smartphone – A smartphone is a computer running very lightweight versions of computer operating systems designed to do tasks on a small device. The BlackBerry was one of the first commercially successful smartphones for the good part of the first decade of the 21st Century. The BlackBerry would then be eclipsed by Apples iPhone (literally running Mac OS X as a modified version) and Google's software based Android operating system.
Starfish set – Most likely referring to a Polycom telephone, known for years by it's shape of a starfish.
Step By Step – a form of an electromechanical switching system. It was used mostly from the 1960s to the early 1990s (smaller markets.) By that time most switches were replaced with electronic and digital switching. Also known as SXS. You can see this class of switch in action by clicking here See Crossbar, as that was also used during that time period.
Switchboards – One of the most oldest terms that is still widely used to this day. Switchboards back in the beginning acted as both the carrier switch and the operator console. This technology would not go away until the telephone's 100th birthday, in some cases it was still used by AT&T for international Long Lines up to the early 1990s. Each customer would have a dedicated line hardwired to the switchboard. To get the operators attention, one would hand crank their set (mostly mounted on a wall) to then create an electrical signal. Early boards had a metal thingy pop out like it was blown out, later sets had actual lamps. The operator would take one pair of cable to that customer and the customer would asked to be patched to another customer. She would then take the other pair of cable, then hand crank or use a knob to create the ring (if it was a party line, "distinctive rings" would require a different pattern. Remember, this was human controlled so the operator had to have some perfection to the rings.
Long distance telephone service was around in those days, but would take a long time to reach to other switchboard operators. It was not abnormal for a customer to request to talk to another customer on the other side of the country at a said time so the operators start to prepare routing the call to be ready by then.
As electronic switching became the norm, and the move to automated dialing with electromechanical switching, the need for an operator to be on site 24x7x365 was not necessary. Such use has been well featured in the 1970s show aired on CBS called The Waltons. I learned a lot about this when visiting to the NH Telephone Museum in 2015.
Telephone Pole – In the United States, they are wooden poles that are about 100 feet apart from each other. The poles are owned and maintained by the telephone company, hence the emphasis on name. Any damage must be reported to the telephone company and it is their responsibility. As the mainstream media in the name of political correctness wants you to know its a "utility pole"; despite a pole carrying electrical, cable and telephone lines, media outlets should refrain from this inaccurate word and should be damned if they say "utility pole." (See
Utility Pole, Insulators)
Tip and Ring – this the type of conductors used for telephony. In other parts of the world its just A and B. This goes back to the days when the telephone company required an operator to place the calls. The tip was for grounding, and ring was what provided a direct current. Back in the day, for reliability, it would peak at 130 volts to ensure the call would to be clear. Wiring was important for 500 sets for party line service and for the set to ring properly. The phrase is mostly outdated.
Time Division Multiplex – TDM. Also known as Digital Telephony. TDM transports voice, video and data into bits of code and transports it to a large multimedia network. Think of a PBX for an example as a Grand Central Terminal and imagine that the PBX is coordinating the traffic between the various subways of voice, a commuter rail of data and buses of voice. The information is almost entirely data, and unlike analog systems where things are encoded by actual electrical waves, it is being encoded through various processors and signaling chips. If you make a call on a PBX, what really is happening is your voice turns into bits of data turned back into what appears to be "voice". The PBX acts as the middlemen to ensure the data is a a set speed limit of 64 kilobits a second. TDM is not IP specifically, though many multimedia applications are based on TDM. TDM was flawed in the beginning but has become a "tried and true" technology, part of it because of its reliability, and lot in due to the hardware dependence with having reliability. TDM also brought things like the Caller ID (that spits out data like whose calling), E-911 (similar to the former), Digital Subscriber Lines, to ISDN and lastly the Internet Protocol.
Undertaker – A man who used to burry bodies invented the rotary dial to prevent the wife to know he was making calls late in the night.
UniSTIM – an IP protocol developed by Nortel (ahem, Avaya) to internetwork their IP telephones. The protocol has been reversed engineered and such phones can be used on systems like the Asterisk. Newer sets like the 1100 and the 1200 can run via SIP, from what I know.
Utility Pole – This is an inaccurate phrase used by the mainstream media in the name of political correctness. Despite a pole carrying electrical, cable and telephone lines, the poles are owned and maintained by the telephone company. Any damage must be reported to the telephone company and it is their responsibility. Any media outlet should refrain from this inaccurate word refer it to what it is a "telephone pole"
VOIP – Voice over Internet Protocol. Also known by the mix caps as VoIP. Basically it's to carry any type of voice conversation over the standardized TCP/IP network that was used for virtually all data uses.
VOIP is a very broad terminology that means a lot to many people. VOIP can be as simple as a "Digital Voice" line by your cable phone company that uses your cable modem but processes the calls as VOIP at the "headend" while other providers give you other boxes to make calls on an analog telephone over an IP connection. It is also used as a commercial two way radio using IP instead of digital radio signals and it can also be used as an intercom or even some fast food joints to take customers orders at a drive thru to a central contact center then presses some buttons heard by the customer back to the joint to make the order. (Saw that on a History Channel Modern Marvels episode.)
VOIP had a bad reputation in the beginning given how data people had no clue or even interest in voice. Traditionally data transfers on the Internet didn't matter what order it went, but when real time communications became a standard it wasn't friendly. When I'd say "I pahked the caahh in the garahge" the other person on the other line with bad voice quality may have heard me say "garrahhge the cahh… in the…. I pahked." Latency to this day is a problem and often it occurs in Skype calls when someone has too many apps running or is doing too many things at once on a wireless connection. VOIP in itself is no different than TDM, where the minimum voice traffic peaks at 64 kilobits a second – the problem is on how the "packets" are being transmitted.
Voice Terminal – "A pretentious AT&T term for a Telephone" says Harry Newton from Harry Newton's Telecom Dictionary. ATT would counter and say "A voice terminal can do a lot more than a regular telephone", quoting loosely on an AT&T Merlin documentation. I say AT&T wasn't crazy or strange to use that term, only that they (and their predecessors got lost into describing this.) A terminal is a device that requires communication from a central system. A computer terminal can be plugged in on one jack and be in a Cisco console session, plug it into another jack and be on a Linux TTY session. This same logic can be applied to telephones.
A visual representation on how "voice terminals" could be set up can be viewed here.
See Avaya Red, Avaya, Definity, Communication Manager, DCP, Digital Communications Protocol, Oryx/Pecos
Wireless – A type of cordless communication that requires a radio network (such as a "main base" and "repeaters" to extend the signal.) This is used indefiently for cell phone service and "cordless" telephones in enterprise setups. Cordless uses a single radio signal to make or receive calls.

Like the earthquake, the magnitude of this event should not be exaggerated. It's only one poll. And while Mr Livingstone has lost ground over the past six weeks, Boris hasn't yet gained it. The main beneficiary is the Lib-Dems' Brian Paddick, on a rising but still distant 12 per cent.
It's possible that those Ken deserters may vote Paddick first preference, Livingstone second - which, in the current state of the parties, is effectively a vote for Ken. (If your first-preference vote is not for a candidate who comes in the top two but your second-preference vote is, it's your second-preference vote that counts.)
And though Boris's performance has improved, he must still do more to avoid the risk of a "Neil Kinnock moment": that point, almost palpable in the 1992 general election, when people intending to throw out the Tories recoiled at the last minute from the untried Kinnock. So for now, Ken probably remains the narrow favourite.
Yet as well as the poll come other signs that HMS Livingstone is taking on water. The most interesting ping on the sonar was from some of the Mayor's own supporters, in the form of an open letter, or rather open goal, from Compass, a Labour pressure group.
"Livingstone has been the frontrunner for re-election, but alarm bells may be sounding," admitted Compass. It paid flattering tribute to the "attack dog" activities of the Evening Standard, "the most influential paper in the country because every decision-maker and influencer in London reads it".
But what was "perhaps most alarming of all", the letter continued, was the "writers and commentators who claim to be 'on the left' taking the fight to Livingstone in a way that will only result in victory for Johnson".
That, I think, is a reference to me, and to Martin Bright, political editor of the New Statesman, and to Nick Cohen, the Standard and Observer columnist - traitorous renegades from the running-dog "Lefties Against Livingstone" grouping. We're out and we're proud.
But the Compass plea for "every progressive voter, activist and organisation to get behind the campaign to re-elect Ken" is an admission that the problem goes far wider than a few hacks. What's interesting, nowadays, is how many other broadly progressive Londoners have doubts about their Mayor.
This is a man who, for all Compass's attempts to paint him as a champion of "democracy, equality and sustainability", treats any democratic bid to scrutinise him with insults and contempt; a man already talking about being Mayor after the 2012 election when he hasn't won the 2008 one yet; a man, in short, taking the voters for granted.
As for equality, his director of equalities is one Lee Jasper. And a reworked congestion charge that allows 80,000 small cars into central London for free won't do much for sustainability.
Compass claims that Livingstone has brought in "cheaper public transport". It must mean that other Ken Livingstone, the genuinely progressive GLC one, whose cheap fares made his name. The new, sustainable Ken charges some of the highest public transport fares in the world. Even with Oyster, the single off-peak bus fare, London's most bought ticket, rose by 25 per cent in 2007.
Compass's other points include: "It's them and us. And Ken Livingstone is us," and the quasi-playground cry: "Boris Johnson would just make everything worse."
Those arguments actually show two of Livingstone's weaknesses: his sectarianism, and his belief that Boris is a disaster from whom all Londoners will recoil. As some London Labour MPs pointed out to Ken at a recent private meeting, their constituents simply don't see Boris that way.
Nor are those MPs exactly fighting to endorse Ken. Only three London Labour MPs, out of 44, signed the Compass letter; only two London Labour council leaders, of nine; only one London Labour MEP, of three.
If even your own office-holders won't step up to the plate, you've got a problem. Labour's lack of enthusiasm is explained by possibly the most significant thing ever said about Livingstone, by Kinnock: "Everyone likes Ken, except the people who know him." Labour tolerated Livingstone when he looked competent and a winner. Now, as the sleaze clouds gather, tolerance may be running low.
For progressives, too, it seems highly unlikely that Boris would "make everything worse". Livingstone supports ID cards and police shoot-to-kill on suspicion; has bullied and smeared the anti-war protestor Brian Haw; honours racist and homophobic clerics; and has handed property developers the keys to the city, so long as their buildings are more than 40 storeys high. Boris would do none of those things.
Most extraordinarily, last week, Livingstone came out against plans to make non-doms pay even a token amount of tax, something which Johnson supports and which is also Labour Party policy, not to mention a matter of elementary fairness. For the Left, following Ken must increasingly feel like being one of those lorry drivers looking for the M5 but led down a farm-track by their faulty sat-nav.
I know why some progressives defend Livingstone so furiously. After years of disappointment with the national Labour government, he presents himself as the last great hope for social justice. I thought that myself for a while, but I've taken Kinnock's advice: I've got to know Ken. I took a close look at what he actually does, as opposed to what he says, and discovered my hope to be misplaced.

13 Steps To Developing An Effective Web Site
We have tried to highlight the main steps, having passed that, you can get a really efficient assistant in your business – a web site that will help your company to the next level. Step 1 – Determine what your company expects from the site. First you need to identify the main challenges that are put to the site. Tasks may be different from attracting new customers and to providing dealers and partners prompt and accurate information about your products, services or ongoing activities and promotions. Without clear goals that you set for the site, all the rest of the steps immediately lose their meaning. If you do not know what you want, then talk about a successful result is not necessary. In the case where the site is put some problems need to prioritize each of them. Step 2 – Assign a coordinator of works on site.
Simply speaking, to appoint the commander of the process of developing the site with your hand. Ideally, it should be someone familiar as with your business, and with the processes and trends in the Internet. There are two workarounds: 1. appoint a person from the company's personnel, 2. hire an outside expert; Both solutions have their obvious pros and cons, we must remember that this man go all the responsibility for coordinating the project and on its professionalism depends largely on the outcome. Coordinator and only the coordinator must have the authority to make final decisions on controversial issues arising in the process of developing the the future of the site, it helps to avoid unnecessary disputes and delays in project development.

Gun Runner Solid in Final Stephen Foster Move
Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys' Gun Runner put in a half-mile work June 12 in his final preparation for the June 17 Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) at Churchill Downs.
Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys' Gun Runner put in a half-mile work June 12 in his final preparation for the June 17 Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) at Churchill Downs.
With an inside trip just off favored Irish War Cry, Bridlewood Farm, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, and Robert LaPenta's Tapwrit angled out late in the final turn under jockey Jose Ortiz and kicked well clear of the rest in the 1 1/2-mile classic.
What has been an ever-shifting landscape for this year's 3-year-old runners is set to conclude its first-half act June 10 with a wide-open edition of the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets (G1).
Smart Strike's biomechanical profile reveals he was a natural two-turn individual with as much power as stride, the kind of horse that can get out there and stalk and then keep going until the rest are left behind.
Here we are at the end of the road--the often unpredictable Belmont Stakes, without the Kentucky Derby or Preakness winner, without the favorite Classic Empire, and with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the head of the Japanese invader Epicharis.
Lookin At Lee will not be carrying a lunch pail during the Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets (G1) June 10 at Belmont Park, but trainer Steve Asmussen knows his horse will bring that mental approach to the 1 1/2-mile classic.
J. Keeler Johnson handicaps the Belmont Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park.
With champion Classic Empire out of the June 10 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets (G1) with a hoof abscess, Irish War Cry inherited the position of favoritism for the 1 1/2-mile race, and was installed as the 7-2 morning-line choice.
Claire Novak interviews trainer Mark Casse about Classic Empire's defection from the Belmont Stakes (G1), and checks in on the juvenile champion on a busy Wednesday morning as the remaining Belmont contenders gear up for the race.
Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) runner-up Lookin At Lee breezed four furlongs in :48.33 under the early morning sunshine on the Belmont Park main track June 4 in preparation for the June 10 Belmont Stakes (G1).
With the glow of the sun pink on the horizon and most of the Pimlico Race Course stakes barn just beginning to rustle with activity, Preakness Stakes (G1) winner Cloud Computing departed from Baltimore to return to his Belmont Park home base May 21.
Claire Novak updates us on Cloud Computing, Classic Empire, Lookin At Lee, and more! Learn who is heading to the Belmont Stakes and when.
Cloud Computing moved alongside Classic Empire in the final sixteenth of the Preakness Stakes (G1) and just got his head in front at the wire. Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Always Dreaming set the pace and finished eighth.
Since Always Dreaming's Kentucky Derby triumph, there has been ample reason for both his camp and Classic Empire's to feel emboldened about the prospect of their horses throwing down something exceptional 14 days later.
Lookin At Lee has become the horse of a lifetime for Hanson, a native of Everett, Wash., who has been breeding and racing Thoroughbreds for more than 30 years.
If you enjoyed the Kentucky Derby dream, no sense waking up now. You might as well keep dreaming until you are jolted back to reality, if and when that ever occurs.
Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Always Dreaming was assigned post 4 and installed as the 4-5 morning-line favorite May 17 at the post position draw for the May 20 Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico Race Course.
Always Dreaming turned in another strong 1 1/2-mile gallop over the Pimlico Race Course main track May 17 as he readies for his start in the May 20 Preakness Stakes (G1).,
Three vans transporting five candidates for the May 20 Preakness Stakes (G1) arrived at Pimlico Race Course within minutes of each other the afternoon of May 16.

D. Wayne Lukas assured the connections of Gunnevera they made the right call in making plans to send the chestnut colt to Baltimore following his seventh-place finish in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1).
Trainer Todd Pletcher gave a very positive review of Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Always Dreaming after the colt galloped once around Pimlico Race Course May 11, in preparation for the May 20 Preakness Stakes (G1).
Always Dreaming, winner of the May 6 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1), departed Churchill Downs at 6:40 a.m. May 9 for the short ride to Louisville International Airport and a flight that would take him to Baltimore.
Trainer Steve Asmussen said Hence may join Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands runner-up Lookin at Lee in the May 20 Preakness Stakes (G1).
Trainer Todd Pletcher stated all was well with newly minted Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Always Dreaming the morning after the colt's stirring triumph in the first leg of the Triple Crown.
Claire Novak updates us on Kentucky Derby runners Always Dreaming, Lookin At Lee, Battle of Midway, Classic Empire, and more.
Before sending Hence to the track during the 8:30 a.m. training slot Monday, trainer Steve Asmussen warned that the son of Street Boss would likely clock in at a decidedly swifter rate than stablemates Lookin At Lee and Untrapped.
Reporting from Churchill Downs, Claire Novak provides updates on Untrapped, Lookin At Lee, Hence, and more!
Rebel Stakes (G2) winner Malagacy and Wood Memorial Stakes presented by NYRA Bets (G2) runner-up Battalion Runner will both bypass the May 6 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1), trainer Todd Pletcher confirmed via text message April 29.
Whether McCraken becomes the latest Derby winner to come out of Churchill's Barn 26 remains to be seen, but the bay colt put in five-furlong drill in 1:00 3/5 April 24 that was nearly as buzz worthy as Street Sense's final move before his triumph.
Classic Empire let his actions silence some of the doubts that had mounted since February when he surged past Conquest Mo Money and Malagacy in late stretch to capture the $1 million Arkansas Derby (G1) at Oaklawn Park.
J. Keeler Johnson handicaps the Arkansas Derby (G1) at Oaklawn Park.
Although L and N Racing didn't start its first horse until June 2015, the partnership has already hit a home run in Lookin At Lee, who was purchased for $70,000 at the Keeneland September yearling sale.
The Rebel Stakes (G2) is the penultimate leg of Oaklawn's Kentucky Derby prep race series, and with such a large purse, the Rebel has drawn a field of eleven horses that look very competitive on paper.
It was a busy morning March 10 at Oaklawn Park for 3-year-olds pointing toward the $900,000 Rebel Stakes (G2), with top local prospects Petrov, Silver Dust, and Uncontested all posting impressive works.
Robert LaPenta and Harry Rosenblum's Uncontested will look to score an Oaklawn Park Triple Crown prep double in the $500,000 Southwest Stakes (G3).
Trainer Mark Casse was openly confident regarding John Oxley's Classic Empire, and was proven right when the bay colt held off favored Not This Time to win the $2 million Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I).
Travers Stakes (gr. I) winner Arrogate logged his final tune-up ahead of the Nov. 5 Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) with a smooth-as-could-be half-mile workout Oct. 31 at Santa Anita Park.
Classic Empire needs to get over his problems leaving the starting gate, but if he does so, he looks to be the top runner in the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland.

Hours after Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde decision of cancelling meeting with US delegates team, BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi too took similar decision.
The Gujarat Chief Minister on Tuesday, Dec 17 tweeted from his Twitter account, "Refused to meet the visiting USA delegation in solidarity with our nation, protesting ill-treatment meted to our lady diplomat in USA."
Refused to meet the visiting USA delegation in solidarity with our nation: Modi
Rahul, Shinde and Modi's latest move of snubbing the US delegates is seen as a mark of protest against the treatment meted out to India's deputy consul general in New York -- Devyani.
was reportedly subjected to a humiliating strip search and was kept in a cell with drug addicts after her arrest for alleged visa fraud last week. She has refused to comment on this.
Earlier on Monday, National Security Adviser (NSA) chief Shiv Shankar Menon and Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar had cancelled meetings in Delhi with the delegation. Sources said senior officials in the foreign ministry had urged minister Salman Khurshid to cancel his meeting with the US team too, but the minister chose to meet them and convey India's displeasure.
39-year-old Devyani was arrested on Thursday on the street while she was dropping her daughter to school and was handcuffed in public. She was later released on a $250,000 bail. She has been accused of lying on the visa application for an Indian national who worked at her home from November to June for less than four dollars an hour.

It was just a matter of time. Looks like we are getting to the bottom of this fraud.
Three CNN employees have handed in their resignation over a retracted story linking President Trump to Russia, the network announced Monday.
Thomas Frank, who wrote the story in question; Eric Lichtblau, an editor in the unit; and Lex Haris, who oversaw the unit, have all left CNN.
In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignation of the employees involved in the storys publication, a network spokesperson said in a statement Monday.
Apologies appropriate.
Grandma Suzy....... Only a Reactionary Ultra Conservative Republican, with no understanding that the very nature of our Democracy creates a Complementry/Interactive, Mutual Dependent Social System with the Requirement to provide Assistance to others when Assistance is Necessary.
If we call ourselves Civilized, Health Care should be provided to ALL citizens at NO cost. Insurance Companies and the Healthcare Industry should NOT profit from the necessity of a Citizen, particularly Children, the Poor, and Elderly, to seek Medical Assistance; Price Controls must be in Place.
You shouldn't eat a sushi burrito.
You may be on to something as I just found this.
What is going on?
Single payer system now is valuable. I don't recall ever using a public school for healthcost concerns.
The Silver Lady? Or do you mean the Silver Room? Where is the Silver Lady, if that is correct?
cool band,great producer,tea yea yea
17 different intelligence agencies testified that there was no vote changed in the election, and now we are reading that democratic operatives may have fabricated much of the story. I am waiting for evidence.

Police, atomic agency to sweep KLIA2 for 'radioactive waste'
Police will cooperate with the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) to check all the locations visited by the suspects in the murder case of Kim Jong-nam in the KL International Airport 2 (KLIA2) on Feb 13.
Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said the collaboration was due to the possibility of radioactive waste from the use of the chemical 'Ethyl S-2-Diisopropylaminoethyl Methylphonothiolate or VX nerve agent as a chemical weapon.
Previously a preliminary analysis by the Malaysian Chemistry Department revealed the VX nerve agent that was associated with the death of Jong-nam, elder half-brother of North Korean Kim Jong-un.
"We will get the AELB forensic experts to go to the locations to sweep and to see whether the radioactive waste is still there," he told reporters today at KLIA before leaving for Makkah to perform the 'umrah' (minor Haj).
This is the second time the media bumped into Khalid at KLIA. Prior to that about 150 local and international media personnel had attended a media conference by the Immigration Department, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) and Airlines Operating Committee on efforts to reduce waiting time at the airports with the hope of getting the latest updates on Jong-nam's murder.
Jong-nam was at the KLIA2 at 8am on Feb 13 to board a flight to Macau when an hour later two women suddenly appeared before him and wiped his face with the palms of their hands which contained a poisonous liquid.
Jong-nam, who had come to Malaysia on Feb 6 and carried a passport bearing the name Kim Chol, died on the way to the Putrajaya Hospital.
Following Jong-nam's murder, the police have arrested four people - two women, one holding an Indonesian passport and the other a Vietnamese passport; and two men, one a Malaysian and the other a North Korean.
The Malaysian has been released on police bail.
Asked whether the female suspects in the murder of Jong-nam had any effect from the chemical used, Khalid said one of them suffered from vomiting.

Lloyd C. Bird (Chesterfield, Va.) athlete Jalen Elliott has spent practically half his life in Maryland's backyard. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder has plenty of relatives in the Upper Marlboro, Md., area, and growing up he said he'd visit them every other weekend. On top of that, Elliott, who also plays basketball, participated in several AAU tournaments and camps at Maryland's Xfinity Center.
On April 4, however, the dynamic safety/receiver got his first taste of the football side of things in College Park, Md.
"Maryland is kind of like a second home for me. Since I was born, I've been up there, playing [basketball] as much up in that area as I did down here in Richmond," said Elliott, who has offers from N.C. State, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Marshall and ODU. "But [April 4] was the first time I went there as a football recruit, and I liked it a lot. The facilities are really nice, all the coaches are down to earth and I like the plan they have for next year and in the future. It was a really good time."
Elliott said he primarily spoke to his recruiter, Chad Wilt, and receivers' coach Keenan McCardell during his stay. He said Wilt has been in touch for a good while now, and the two have a developing rapport.
"Coach Wilt is a really cool guy and someone I can relate easily to," Elliott said. "He was telling me that [Maryland is] recruiting me, he really likes my film and he wants to stay in touch. He was saying how I'm a scholarship player, and [the staff] is going to decide whether to offer me as a safety or a receiver. [Wilt] said they all watched the film and loved it, but now they just want to see me work out this spring to see where I fit best into what they do. So I'm looking forward to Coach Wilt coming down to my school and getting that offer, for sure.
"And Coach McCardell, he's a real cool guy too. He was saying how he wants to watch me workout, but he wants me on the good side of the ball (laughs). He wants to keep me away from Coach Wilt and the defense (laughs)."
The Virginia product said one of his favorite parts of his visit was seeing the Under Armour influence on the school. Elliott said he'd never seen "so much Under Armour stuff everywhere."
"The locker room, the weight room, all of that is Under Armour. And just learning about how Under Armour has helped the school grow, and with the new facilities they're building, that's really cool. I think that's huge for Maryland," Elliott said. "The only thing is I didn't get to try on any of those jerseys (laughs). I got to get back up there and get into all that [gear]."
Elliott enjoyed watching the Terps scrimmage as well. He didn't pay attention to one particular coach or area, but said the team as a whole performed well.
"They looked good on both sides of the ball," Elliott said. "It's only April so of course there's work to do. There were good plays and bad plays, but the guys are coming along. I liked what the coaches were doing and how the players were responding."
Elliott went on to say if Maryland did eventually pull through with an offer, he would "definitely" consider it.
"Of course," he said. "It would be my first Big Ten offer, and like I said, Maryland is like a second home to me. It's a great campus, a great program and they have a really good communications program too, which I want to major in. [The Terps] would definitely be in the running."
In addition to UMD, Elliott has seen Va Tech, Wake Forest, NC State, ODU, UNC and Penn State. Next, he's visiting Tech for the fourth time April 7, followed by State for the second time April 9. He has no other planned trips after that, but will hit the campuses where "[college] coaches really want me up there."
At this time, Elliott has no stated leaders, although it's clear the Hokies have his eye.
He does not have a definite timetable for selecting a school, although ideally he'd like to end his recruitment before his senior season.
"I kind of want to decide in the summer so I can get this over with," said Elliott, who mentioned every school recruiting him wants him as an 'athlete' and will decide his position later. "But if I can't make up my mind by August, I'll put recruiting aside and then revisit it after my senior season so I can fully concentrate on helping my team win another state championship."
Last year at Lloyd C. Bird, Elliott played quarterback and cornerback, though he was primarily under center. He ended up passing for 1,800 yards, rushing for 300 and producing 32 combined touchdowns (25 passing). On defense, Elliott recorded 27 tackles and three interceptions, helping his squad to a class 5A state title.
