These were rather large boxes -- about the size of a Yellow Pages
phone book -- that I believe were supplied by the Phone company and
operated on dedicated lines.  (They never had a dialtone and only connected
directly to our computing center across town.)  They had a blue case
with a white front panel and a couple toggle switches and some LEDs.
