Guessing that the TIE phones are Delphi/Meritor family of the 60030/80
etc family. The cabinet it plugged into was blue and it maxed out a
6x16.
My other guess is a Partner. Not many other systems accepted single
line sets.
Try a picture in alt.binaries

That "first standard jack" that works for a standard phone may be an
"AUX" jack, like on a Spirit KSU (gives you dial tone and line status
for an answering machine or modem on the 1st line)
If it is indeed a Partner control unit and you plugged in a TIE 612
phone (or its equiveliant), you have just fried the station port
Giganews
with sqaure expansion areas on either side.

I was thinking that the phones would work on the blue Tie 616 KSU, but
I still can't figure out what the KSU I have is. It is beige in color,
and has a black cover on the front with holes in it for access to the
ports. On the back it says "AT&T." Carl mentioned posting a picture to
alt.binaries, but I can't seem to find that newsgroup.
Thanks for the help!

Nope, but I see you're using Google and it probably doesn't have full
access to alt binaries. Try Teranews, or e-mail the file to me and
I'll post it for you.

Yes, no. Did you expect it to?
In however many days of this thread, you could have gone to Google and
searched for tie 86063. In less than 5 minutes I found this wonderful
Tie reference http://www.hi-linesupply.com/tie/.
I almost fogot about the Onyx, DS01, and TCX family, along with the
Portrait and Delphi/Meritor/Businesscom analog keys.
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, use old equipment or
get an inexpensive phone system, but I'd be willing to ship you every
blue cabinet and phone I have for $150 plus freight. This would fill
about 3 boxes and be at least 20 phones and at least 3 cabinets (I
have 4 612 and 3 616 plastic cabinets).
It ought to give you an idea of what they're worth to me :-)

You should be able to post to alt.binaries.schematics.electronic or ABSE
for short.
