Can Lync actually tie into phones? Or are we talking just soft phones there? I haven't personally looked into it but I didn't actually know it acted as anything more than a web platform. Yeah Avaya is still looking good. But I'm in indecision between them and ShoreTel really. I pretty...

Oh my mistake. We're using an older version of 3cx, I mixed up the names! :confused:

Well that actually tilts it towards Asterisk a little bit for us. We do screen sharing type stuff a little bit but we have TS Farms that our guys use. (We do alot...)

Actually I'm pretty sure that I had read your post (I actually did search before posting :D) Assuming you're the same guy at least. The post was from a couple of years back IIRC, the thread was already necrod once. Was the Avaya priced so high mostly because of licensing? How often were...

It seems to have some stability issues, and we have these weird issues where if one or two people are on the phone then all five lines will be locked and no one can get a line until those one or two hang up. After that all five will work. Not being a telephony guy myself (and they've...

Were using MX-One now, we're not happy with it :|

I'm not really talking budgets or support at the moment. I have vendors from each that all seem up to the task at the moment. What I'm really interested in is the qualities and management of the specific systems listed. Thanks all

I'm not concerned about the install really. If we have to do it then we have to do it but most likely we'll be having the vendor do the install. Future management is another thing all together.

I will probably do that. Thanks!

Oh wow I was expecting something closer to 2003-2004... The stuff were looking at with Avaya looks pretty solid though.

Well since it was a Nortel system it was fairly old I would assume? It seems like with the advent of smart phones the PBX vendors have all improved from a UI view quite a lot

I'm personally bouncing back and forth between ShoreTel, Avaya and SwitchVox. I've had experience with Mitel in the past and while they weren't bad, I prefer something else. Avaya is really cool in that they actually have their database completely open (and it's just SQL I believe). With that...

The switchvox system is based on Asterisk and people seem to be pretty happy with it. I'll definitely look into freepbx but I posted this to help narrow my options down not expand them! :eek:

I had been looking at phone systems for a couple of months and had finally more or less decided on ShoreTel. Then I found new employment. And one of the first things they put me on was finding a new phone system! Only these guys aren't sold on one system or the other (All of management had...

I'm sourcing for work and I'm supposed to find these damn things but I can't for the life of me figure out what they're called or where to get some. D: They're for the old PGA370 socket (think PIII). This socket did not have an arm (well some of them did, these don't) The top section of the...
