DEERFIELD, Ill., Feb. 7 -- Teradyne has received a $4.5 million order for its 4TEL II Voice Customer Care Test System from Czech Telecom, the national telecommunications provider in the Czech Republic. The contract covers deployment of 4TEL II to monitor more than 2 million phone lines operated by Czech Telecom.
    The system will be installed in March 2001, with full implementation throughout Czech Telecom's network completed later in the year.
