        Their phones go to a reorder too.  I'm guessing the T1 DSU
market is not as robust as it used to be.

        While they did have an update mechanism, I don't remember 
ever really having to update the code on a DL08x.  Once configured,
they tended to just work.

        I did manage to find these:

        http://cliffbrooks.com/Samples/soloselectt1_qwk.pdf
http://www.interlinkweb.com/quickeagle/manuals%5CPrelude-T1-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf

        (Your best bet is probably looking for DL087, followed by DL080 or "Digital Link" on Google, with the 
filetype:pdf modifier.)

        The menued interface is really easy to deal with, so just get
consoled into it and go -- odds are you don't even need the docs.  DIP
switch guide used to be on a decal on the bottom -- if not, it's on page
19 of the first PDF I linked above.

        I used to have a very large quantity of these in service, so if
you have any questions, fire me an email off-list and I'll see if I can
remember the answer.
