5E Mike, I like that "a solution looking for a problem" . It is very descriptive and to the point.
But then it becomes part of the problem. IP does have it's place but I don't see it in the small to mid sized business. Would the local Domino's Pizza with 4 POTS and 4 sets need an Avaya IP Office? Or the local State Farm insurance office with 3 lines and 3 sets? Or the dentist group with 8 lines and 34 sets? I doubt it. Now an access port to IP for long distance --- well, maybe. Or even to use it as a tie trunk to another site, well, maybe. But for all their needs? I'll soon find out. Carqest Auto Parts in this region is going all IP --- IF the phones are down as much as their computers are currently they'll soon be renamed "PHONEQUEST" as they'll be looking for phones that will work when their computers are down. :rofl:
