Just as I finished reading this article, _my_ Rolm-system extension,
as well as several others nearby, started ringing continuously for
no apparent reason. This has been happening several times a day for
the last year, and Rolm is still unable to locate the problem
in their switch. I suspect it is a design defect. Has anyone else
on a Rolm PBX encountered this problem?
