Reza, Philip, Robert, thanks for the input.
I think installing modules or making changes to the Nortel system would be really not worth my time as Reza mentioned. So, I am looking to roll out their Nortel system. Are the lines that are usually coming into a Nortel system regular business lines or is there some sort of coding or something to them I have to call bell to tune them to the Asterisk system or not?
