The boss was speaking with our sales rep from our telephone line provider (McCloud) today. The rep is pushing the benefits of T1 service. Given our current number of lines (eight into the KX-T, one for our FAX) the monthly costs are pretty much a wash, but apparently the long distance savings are considerable. We use a _lot_ of long distance minutes.
Anyone care to clue in the (truly) clueless regarding what switching to T1 will entail. Just a few questions off the top of my head: 1. Looks like I need a KX-TD187 T1 module. Not cheap. Is there any additional hardware required? 2. We've got a -4 system. It appears to be the earliest rev compatible with the above T1 module. Any shortcomings or problems for a -4 with T1 service vs. later revisions? 3. The rep said something in regard to keeping one standard line in case the T1 goes down. Does this make any sense? Is this merely protection against having all your eggs in one basket - one line failure causing all of the phone lines to go down? 4. How easily can the FAX be integrated or split off? I'm guessing that the easiest thing might be to send incoming FAX calls to an XDP port on a digital set. Is it relatively simple to disable access to one line from all (7230) sets so that someone doesn't mistakenly tie up the line for an outgoing call?
