Our receptionist just quit, and we're thinking of replacing our
(clunky electromechanical) 4-line key system with an offering from US
West called Centron.  (Like Centrex but smaller, as I understand it.)
They're also now offering voice mail, and we think these together
would cut our phone-answering labor by 80% or more.  The monthly
charge for all this is no more than the rental for our current key
system.  Overall, it looks like a big win, if it works.

Am I missing something?  I'd be interested in hearing from anyone
who's using a similar system.  Also, we're expecting significant
growth over the next couple of years. What else should I be looking
out for?

Thanks in advance.
