Ericsson did use Microbees (which they added bits to) for front of house Motel phone system integration.
The Microbee patched into the pabx and collected phone usage data for billing to the rooms.
I did service one of them at a motel in Wangaratta at some point, but if I recall correctly, it was a standard (non-premium) bee
with a larger add-on board underneath. The machine was working, but, as usual, key switches were problematic.
It was only by chance that I repaired the machine as I was doing the rounds of the schools in the area at the time and chose
to stay at that motel only to find a bee behind the desk.
