When someone says they want VOIP, you have to find out what they are really talking about. There are a number of ways to use VOIP. Because it is one of the latest buzz words, a lot of people ask for it but don't know what it is. Technically, every phone system can use VOIP... if you connect a Vonage box to a co port.
Yes, you can route both co ports and extension ports from a TD1232 over VOIP. You will be limited to using analog extension ports. I set up a test with another dealer using our TD1232's and multitech boxes- a co port on my system was connected to an extension port on his system. When I access my co port, I got dial tone from within his system and could call any extension I wanted. If he wanted to reach me, he just dialed the ext number I was plugged into and it rang into my system as a special co. You can also just put a single line phone on the far end and it will become an extension off of the 1232. You can get a VOIP box from Vonage and connect it to the co ports on the 1232 for outgoing and incoming calls. You cannot use voip to make a remote digital extension from the 1232 (with all the buttons, etc.). The new Panasonic TDA voip system can do that. VOIP phone systems can be systems that use voip within the office to connect the phones but that has limited value if you already are wired for regular phones. Multiple VOIP systems that get linked together over VOIP can interface some phone data info between systems. So you could probably do some of things you want without too much trouble. As for the new customer, it's good to find out what they really want- are they looking to interface their computer network to the phones, or is it just that they think they can get cheaper phone service by using voip as seen on TV?
