</div>That's because we have almost 400 analog phones already wired in our building (which is very large). So we need to take advantage of the wiring.<br>
<br>
Also, if we were to convert to an all-IP phone system (non-ATA), we would need to buy more ethernet switches (currently they're all full) and tunnel cables thtough ceilings and walls. In other words, it would cost a lot more than to simply buy ATAs. What I'm looking for however are STABLE, RELIABLE ATAs...<br>
<br>
Thanks for the feedback,<br>
