Centrex. The make or break point is the customer taking the time to fully delineate and understand his needs before choosing between the two. As a telecomm sales rep, I'm perfectly willing to explore either scenario with a client or prospect. Tone Commander makes a nice piece of equipment (the name of which has just scaped me!) that is designed to be a full featured Centrex console. It received good reviews in The Jan. '90 issue of TELECONNECT. Customer education is the key to the proper decision. (but ain't that the way it's ALWAYS been?). "What's so funny 'bout peace, love & understanding?" Elvis Costello
