How do you use the existing Nortel sets with Asterisk? > To compete, a solution is needed that will keep the > costs in line with the competition.

Well even if you use the existing phone wiring you are still buying new switching gear so wouldn't it make sense to put the new switching gear on the data network and run the phones over the LAN? Since we are talking less than 50 desks, a 48 port POE switch can be had for less than $1500 (and dropping). Or a non-POE version with power adapters. > > Jim > > -- > Jim Van Meggelen > Core Telecom Innovations > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.coretel.ca > 416-425-6111 x6001 > 877-CORETEL x6001 (Canada) > IAX2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/6001 > www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2177 > >
