Economies like these easily outweigh temporary technical glitches. Wall Street communications analysts, like Winston Himsworth of Salomon Brothers, see a huge market for the new phones. Himsworth envisions the day when PBX systems will transmit programmed information to put through a wake-up call to an employee in the morning, electronically turn on the lights and air conditioner a few minutes before he arrives at work, and lock the office door when he leaves at day's end.
