Maybe you could just present it as an additional monthly cost to convert the legacy media to modern formats if their service provider can't do it. I'm sure it would take a very minor amount of time and you could probably bill them some tiny cost of $15. You might want to consider building it into a monthly support cost that would cover their adds/moves/changes.
One of the key benefits to running * is the ability to change your phone system to fit your business as your business grows and changes. Take for example, we added a dedicated sales rep. We currently have a feature where callers can hit a number to talk to sales. Well, I want him to have first grab at the call so it rings his phone for 10 seconds, if he isn't right there it then rings a pool of phones where smart people sit. If nobody answers it goes back to his voicemail. This isn't easy to do with legacy PBX's.

My orginal question was based on the fact the customer has a paid subscription from this company to provide a "service", the customer will likely not want to mess with that service (and/or copyrights), and may just force the issue with interfacing at the RCA jack level. E.g., don't rock the boat with "change" when the customer is already stressin with the unknowns of voip, etc. (This is a non-tech customer.) _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
