If you are looking to go used, or to do it yourself, you would probably want to consider finding a D1232. Then you can use the 7400 phones, and you can use voicemail. Voicemail takes up extension ports on the system, so if you have 16 extensions now, you would need 17 or 18 to add voicmail (unless you get rid of an existing extension).
If you would like something new but is fairly user friendly, and you want to do-it-yourself, try the KXTA824. It can be programmed by PC and it can use the phones you have now and the newer 7700 series. It will not use the 7400 series though. It also supports voicemail. Voicemail new model is the TVA50, that is also PC programmable. If you are looking for used you would probably want a TVS50 (or TVS100 as you mentioned). They are definately not user friendly though. You have to spend a lot of time to understand how to program them. The TVA with PC programming might be easier. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. John Orlando III" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 8:33 AM Subject: KX-T: KX-T61610 accessory questions > Hi Carl! > > I have not had contact with you since 1998 when you helped me with a few > technical questions on my KX-T61610 System. > Glad to see you are still around!
