G3 is generation 3.
Back in the AT&T days the first PBX's worked mechanicly, that was generation 1 of telephony.
Back in the late 70's early 80's things were done semi-electronic, they still used mechanicly operated parts in PBX's but had some electronics in there. (that is when DTMF was introduced, before that everybody had rotary dailing)
Then some really lab rats saw the light and went with micro-processor controled PBX's. Thus G3 was introduced.
fun fact
Up till halfway in the 90's a lot of the competitors had PBX's that were running on 8086 processor. The Definity was allready running on an Intel in those days.
The G3r was running on a RISC processor. When Intel introduced the Pentium with soem math problems, Lucent kicked out all intel processors for the G3i(ntel) and went with a RISC processor in that system too.
They had a problem with the i in G3i (that used to stand for intel) and made it si (that stands for seamless integration, cause now you can seamlessly grow from an G3si to a G3r if you got the money)
Please let me know if the information that was provided is helpfull.

Just because I like simple --
An alternate command from the SAT to find out what release you're on is "newterm". The command gives you the option to change your terminal emulation, but it also displays the system release data (for no apparent reason).
