We would like to get a good set of rj11 crimpers and related supplies. Is there a telco supplier that someone can recommend that carries stuff like this. Also having a 1A2 multi-key phone set on my desk, I would really like to add a speakerphone. A new one costs an exorbinent $$$$ amount of money from Ill. Bell, so are there any used telco vendors that supply said equipment that I can contact? We are a Centrex site served by Ill. Bell, all of this equipment is analog. And am I correct that even if I find said speakerphone, it's really not a full duplex type? ie there's a split second where it switches from send/receive. I know this is old stuff, maybe the new stuff (merlin/digital) doesn't do it.
