Re: OT: VOIP Implementation

If going with open source, also consider the Linksys phones - SPA962, these
rock. They are very good and work nice with SIP. Nice color screens, 6
lines, poe, etc ...

You can also look at UC520s for your install. These support a single T1
each, so you will need an ISR to handle the 4 PRIs at your main site ... you
might be best to simply look at CME and consider this.

If you know your Cisco SE, tell them to get you a quote, this would give you
something to work from. There is often more to all of this than the simple
numbers in these emails ... management platforms, speech to text, 3rd party
support like IPCelerate, etc ...

Good luck and let us know what you choose!
