Dear Brain Trust,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Today I am interested in (<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 26px;" class="">reconnoitering</span>) a replacement phone system.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The way I understand it, my library (4 geographical locations) currently has 4 POTs circuits connected to a NEC-Aspire system. (I want to call it PBX, but it may not be exactly that.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We have (not less than) 30 desk stations. We use voice mail, and an automated attendant gets first crack at incoming calls. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please help me with sizing a system, finding a vendor, understanding quirks and gotchas of VOip… Value is a big driver for this project.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I would be thrilled to train and understand on-site configuration, and expansion (using phones purchased at discounts … ). I like to think I can handle this as a do-it-yourselfer. (I don’t think I’m going to the SIP-server level … unless you
tell me it’s okay)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Wondering about eRate and OPLIN ramifications?? Internet is internet, right? Experiences and horror stories are welcome.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
