I have never seen … I have never seen Magix systems go so down in price so quickly. It has been disconttinued less than 4 years.
You can get a real phone system for about $500 for resale on ebay. I rather spend $500 for a traditional system with more phyiscal hardware than a $500 PCI card tied to a white box that has less features (nvm more inferior.)
@marshalauth Yea, … @marshalauth Yea, VOIP phone systems are sooo wonderful. I love hearing myself when I call a large company, or the white noise and weird sounds when there is a pause in the conversation. Sorry, but for business systems, IP based just don’t cut it. When I hear myself comeback or the white noise, I ask the person what type of phone are they on. Yup, an IP phone system.
Digital telephony … Digital telephony will never get outdated. I can’t tell you how annoying VOIP/IPT is. its nothing but difficult to set up, the expense and the inferior technology it is. Never mind the “asterisks” have the equivelant of about 20 features. The Norstars and other digital systems have MUCH more features than IPT systems…
It takes an hour … It takes an hour and a half to set up and configure a VoIP Asterisk based system. Digital sets like that Nortel system are kind of… out dated. Get a cheap desktop and download PBX In a Flash or Trixbox or what ever, get a cheap Trunk or get an FXO card to use your current phone line, and set up a cheaper system. There is places to get cheap VoIP phones.
Hey, Goofball! That … Hey, Goofball! That is not a PBX. It’s a key system. It’s made by Nortel and is VERY old. equinoxx44 is right – most people will not have a clue how to put this in.
Or you could just … Or you could just go ahead and go to Bestbuy and buy a 4 phone set, with intercom and up to 3 different lines for $200 including warranty.
LOL buy off ebay. … LOL buy off ebay. These are corporate PBX systems, its not like putting a multi line set in your house, people can barely use their cell phones! Now your recommend them punching down 66 blocks and running 2 pairs in their house!
No it does not. You … No it does not. You connect the main phone line that comes into the building to the Control Unit and it plugs into the control unit just like you where to plug in a regular phone.
