All I want to do is hang a KSU on the wall, connect the POTS CO Lines and run one or two pairs to each phone. I want to be able to simply program from a predefined feature set using a phone or a GUI interface. That's all the majority of customers need to keep them happy.

I DON'T want to become a software programmer.
I DON'T want to contend with software licenses and upgrades.
I DON'T want to become a network administrator.
I DON'T want to become a computer jockey.
I DON'T want to contend with SIP or any of that BS.

NONE OF THIS CRAP IS NEEDED!! What the hell is so hard for you VoIP guys to understand?? This is all designed by the manufacturers to put more money into their shareholder's pockets by modeling the telecom business after the IT business. TDM systems lasted forever with little maintenance, THAT HAD TO BE CORRECTED with something that generated a constant revenue stream.

And the suckers are falling for it.
