Henry,<br><br>Trust me, that was my first suggestion to this client... Of course, the client is the CIO, which means that he has read a lot of magazines, and has made his executive decision. Knows just enough to be dangerous or a PITA (and in the end the end, aren't those one in the same?). I used to deal with Panasonic, and that is all I want to do currently is learn about another piece of legacy crap that I am trying to get out of the equation!
<br><br>Well, that makes things a little more difficult, but maybe not... For the first could of SIP endpoints that I am bringing there, I connected the * via FXO to the 96... This allows them to play with the features of *, and they can still have some connectivity with the 96. I am with you 100% in getting rid of the basics keysystem and switch over to *, but it has been a hard sell...
<br><br>Thanks for the information...<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/27/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Henry L.Coleman</b> <<a href="mailto:henry.coleman@voip-pbx.ca">henry.coleman@voip-pbx.ca</a>> wrote:

<br>convertion. If you want to use the IVR in * to select extensions on the<br>Toshiba then you will have a problem as the incoming calls can only use<br>the intercom channel. As with most key systems the concept is to use the
<br>intercom channel to announce a call pickup on a line number eg "you have a<br>call on line one" with a PBX the called person only has to hold the line<br>while the call is transfered. Actually, a client of mine recently
<br>completely swapped a Toshiba system for an * solution. the more lines and<br>stations the key system has the more likely an * solution will be<br>accepted.<br><br><br><br>Henry L. Coleman.<br>Web: <a href="http://www.voip-pbx.ca">
