The Citel Handset Gateways were the best option for our scenario.

The cost per port for the number of buttons on our NEC DTerm/E phones was about 
half.
Also, no network reengineering.

We connected new 66 blocks to the Citel units. And just cutover from the old to 
the new.
When you configure the extension on on the Citel, it does not register to 
asterisk until a phone is connected.

Someday, I will upgrade our network, but using the old phones is much, much 
simpler at this point.

Also, the way they did their BLFs is very asterisk freindly.  

We have been very happy with our units.

  Hi all,
  Is using a Citel gateway with Asterisk a good solution for reusing of the old 
Nortel digital phones?
  Would love to get some input from actual users.
  Any/all opinions welcome.
