Doug seems to think that this *might* be prototype stuff, but we're not sure at this point. The large connector on the box more than likely plugged into a billing processor unit of some kind.
From research I've done, some prototypes had a printer of some kind...I've even seen a reel to reel prototype that collected data somehow. I've also seen where some proposed models had billing through the customer's phone bill.
At this point, it's anyone's guess how this actually worked.
