[Asterisk-biz] tandem locations

[Paul]

Jamie, you are right about that being one possibility. But I wonder why 
someone would want locations of such things. Tandem computers are the 
type of thing that are usually dedicated to a purpose or need. You don't 
just walk into a place and rent time on them to run your favorite COBOL 
payroll or billing app. So my guess is that Keith is referring to some 
other kind of tandem. I'm curious now.
