Now that I think about it, it might have been an 88K.  It was embedded 
in the phone system.  I don't remember the exact model.  It was from the 
late '80's or early '90's as it was around 10 years old when I worked on 
it in the early 2000's.

I was the UNIX support for the phone administrator.  I seem to remember 
it about as much UNIX as Minix was.  It has a command line, and basic 
utilities worked and networking was tcp, but it wasn't quite right.  And 
the config files were all weird and not like the SysV or BSD systems I 
was use to working on at the time.

I might still have some of my notes floating around someplace, but I'm 
not home right now.  If I think of it, in a few days when I get home, 
I'll see what I can dig up.
