	The following is a true, bizarre occurence:

	I once saw a serious outbreak of fungus on a PBX.  It was an OKI Model
AC-220 wire-spring relay/crossbar PBX which had a yellow fungus growing on the
contact separator cards of the wire-spring relays. These plastic cards appeared
to be made of some cheap phenolic resin.  In some dense areas the fungus had
started to encroach upon the relay contacts.  Solving this problem was really
somewhat tricky, since one could hardly spray Lysol on the energized components.
I finally recommended placing paraformaldehyde flakes in the bottom of the
apparatus cabinets - which promptly killed all of the fungus in about a week's
time.
	I guess the AT&T people would probably say that's what happens when
you buy cheap garbage telephone apparatus - which in this case is true!
