Thanks for your valuable input.
I'm sure that your interpretations and historical input are completely
valid however the phrase 'Chaps and Chapesses' actually originates from an
old Physics teacher of mine. He was great with the Van Der Graff generator
but not to hot on standardised digital signalling...

Dear Steve,
"Chaps" is perfectly fine to address one and all in the trade. Just
because one gender assumes that the term is limited to themselves does not
mean that this assumption is correct or that another gender cannot be part
of this association. Let us not brutalize the English language with
"chapesses" in order to appear "politically correct."
It is true that in Merry Old England there were many more traveling
peddlers and other itinerant dealers of the male persuasion than female,
and thus "chap" came to connote a male trader rather than female. But who
says this has to always be so! A chap is a casual "business" dealer or, to
use another recently favored term, a "business associate" who may be of
help with common or esoteric goods and services.
And no, this chap (of the female persuasion) cannot offer you anything on
digital signaling. Sorry.

PS: I'd hate to tell you what my spell-checker has to say about
"chapesses"!

Subject: Standardized PABX to system phone signalling
Dear chaps/chapesses
Is anybody aware of any attempts (successful or not) of developing a
standardized format for digital signalling between a PABX and a systemphone
on one of its extensions? For example to relay CLI from the PSTN to the
systemphone, or to initiate call transfer, call pick up....etc.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
