You may find this hard to believe but when Alexander Graham Bell Set out he was not trying to discover the business telephone. Given how dependant people had become on the telegraph to send text messages there was a need to figure out how to put more than one message on the same set of wires to speed up the process.
Bell stumbled upon the phone and its ability to do voice transmission during his discovery and over the years you can see how it evolves and why. The first phone was more or less a candlestick and required humans to make every call connection. As advancements occurred you see how Bell Labs later Lucent Telephone later create a switch to do this with humans.
TelephonesOver the years Lucent Telephone ( AT&T) and Later Avaya invent many amazing phone systems. The telegraph was great for Governments, Businesses, and the average person. Today more than ever businesses rely on their phone system.

- Merlin Legend 1.0 - 7.1 First release in 1991 could not install a PRI card until release 3.0 - Recently,we had to upgrade a site from a Release 1.1 to a release 7 (they had about 75 BIS phones ) in order for them to use a T1 card for connecting to Comcast. It took 3 hours to get the old config over to the R7 (didn't help that the 1200 baud connection to the old system kept crashing. Finally, when everything was up, we could install the 100D card but, Comcast couldn't figure out that they had to change the PRI "protocol" on their end to a 5E.
