The flexibility of configuring the TDA is one thing that makes it shine in keeping cost down. For end user though, panasonic manuals stink. I think Avaya Partner has the easiest to understand manuals- but you can't beat the TDA on expandabililty. Jim, when you say you are outgroing the TD1232, are you still at a single cabinet? Since you are familiar with it, you can still go double on that, and keep everyone happy with the ext numbers, mailboxes, etc. I think you have a -4 ksu, I would definately upgrade that to a -6/7 with a new motherboard, match it with a new -7 cabinet, and you can be up and running in a couple of hours. (Don't forget, the new cabinet comes with a caller id card, so you can put that to use too.) You can upload the -4 settings into the -7.
