Indeed a nice deal. It includes their nice voicemail that now supports
email integration. And 3 cordless phones with a cell site.
The TAW848 is their only analog system that has all the programming of
their Digital TDA system. The only difference is in the type of phones
that can be used, and the limitation to VoIP or T1.
