Tony,
I have the same nec system you have with about the same number of 
extensions.  Would be pretty expensive to replace all those phones.  I 
am looking to implement * around the end of the year at this office.  I 
am hoping the citel gateway product that was mentioned on the list will 
support the etw series handsets by then.  However, I would be happy with 
a solution similar to what you have in mind if its workable.  I don't 
know how to do it either, but I'm definitely interested in avoiding 
buying 30 new phones.
