I actually got a ride during commissioning. I was pretty proud of that product. I wrote 100% of the code, which included its own executive/non blocking scheduler. I designed and built the PCBs except for some PIKA telecom cards, I did a backplane for an embedded PC running NT and I designed and build the enclosure. That was back in the day when I could crank out 50K lines of code in a month.
And I was too young and dumb to learn how to charge a proper amount for the product. I was selling these things for $3500.

I could only deliver 48 telephone extensions, alas they needed more... That one would have conferred lifetime bragging rights... I still got one on the head of state aircraft for Benjamin Netanyahu. Did several heads of state, many corporate and some Hollywood folk and Arabian Princes.
