Right now, we're looking at the following PBXs: AT&T System 25 (soon to be discontinued? that's the rumor...) Mitel SX-200D Toshiba Perception EX Meridian Option 11 (not quite out yet, doesn't seem mature...) The business has about 60 employees at this building, with about 80 lines among us, the intention is to bring in a T1 from AT&T for all the LD and 800 traffic, plus some DID trunks from Pac*Bell. We already have an Octel voicemail system, but that'll integrate with nearly anything. I'd appreciate any opinions pro, con, or neutral on the above list, and will accept (for a limited time!) pointers to anybody else I should look at. Thanks! Laird P.
