Is it an ActiveVoice system?

We've got a client with the exact same setup.
They have suffered long enough with this
dinosaur.  They are in the process of going
with an all-Asterisk system.

You would probably make more money trying an
intermediate step using the SX-200 and Asterisk,
but it would be obviously more costly for them
as well as prolong their misery.

It's your call, but I would recommend getting
away from 30 year old technology as fast as
you can run.  The ActiveVoice system is a
cantankerous 20 year old system in itself.

You have just received 2 cents worth of advice
for FREE!
