I once worked for a lawyer who owned his building and rented two suites to other lawyers. We had four phone lines, one of which doubled as a fax line. One of the tenants persisted in using the fax line for phone calls, even after we asked him not to because we couldn’t send or receive faxes when he had the line tied up. I promised myself that no matter how desperate for a job I ever became, I was never going to work for that inconsiderate oaf. And I never did.

Actually, T-carriers were used internally in the Bell System starting in the early ’60s, and were available to customers at least by the early ’80s.

Strange game. Only winning strategy is not to play.
