A while back I did a side job installing a small PBX at a local town office. They have about 8 extensions, and they'd been using shared analog lines strung all over the place. The PBX let them put the numbers into a hunt group and set up a short menu system.
I couldn't go with SIP trunking because they were in an area that the numbers aren't portable, and they wanted to keep the local numbers. That was the hard driver for on-premise equipment. If you're doing something on-premise, I'd got with a pre-cooked PBX appliance. They're reasonably priced and give a clean solution that can get some support from a vendor if you're not available. -- Christopher Manly Coordinator, Library Systems Cornell University Library Information Technologies c...@cornell.edu 607-255-3344 On 2/7/14, 4:58 PM, "John Stoffel" <j...@stoffel.org> wrote: > >Philip> I was just talking to a friend about getting rid of the >Philip> traditional pbx in his small office of about 10 people.
