William, I agree - using a PC for MP3 only is overkill, the PC's are on site remotely collecting SMDR and also serve as paging terminals - it was a case of utilising the existing setup and improving. The idea being that when collecting the SMDR we could download the new MP3 data.
Thanks for your help - the Rio may not be available in New Zealand, I will see if I can locate.
