If the answer is NO to any of the above, would you recommend I switch >out my 6161 to a D1232? (where I can use all the above) ...or is it best >to go to a more current system? It depends on what you have and what you want. The 61610 uses analog phones, the 74xx series is digital and will work on the TD and TDA systems. If you got "free" 74xx series phones, you would probably look for a used TD. If you don't have digital phones, grab a TA-824 to give you VM flexibility, CID to a single line set, and easy programming and conversion. The TA-824 base cabinet includes CID on the first 3 lines and you could opt for a 008 expansion board do get to 3x16. About $800 street price would get you a KSU, ta-82470 card and 3 new 7731 display phones. >I do use all 16 extensions on my 61610 but only 2 CO lines for my home >installation.

The door card is extra on the 824, (82461 4 port with door and opener electronics). It will cost $100-120. >Also it would be "nice" to have a voice mail system instead of 2 >answering machines, but not really needed ...but if I can get the TVS100 >for $100 ...should I bother? Absolutely. >Finally the ONLY reason I can see to switch up to the D1232 would be to >get caller ID on the display phones (assuming the 1232 has that card >installed) The CID board may have been stripped from the TD systems, but I believe it's a -7 that had them.
