"The decision to use TelNet was simple," said Sunburst Vice President of Information Technologies, Mark Elbaum. TelNet has been a dependable communications partner for years committed to providing Sunburst quality nationwide service. We feel that using TelNet proved to be the most cost effective solution because they offer a single source solution to handle a variety of telecommunication components.
