<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Citel Handset Gateways were the best option for
our scenario.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The cost per port for the number of buttons on our
NEC DTerm/E phones was about half.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, no network reengineering.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We connected new 66 blocks to the Citel units. And
just cutover from the old to the new.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When you configure the extension on on the Citel,
it does not register to asterisk until a phone is connected.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Someday, I will upgrade our network, but using the
old phones is much, much simpler at this point.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, the way they did their BLFs is very asterisk
freindly. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have been very happy with our
units.</FONT></DIV>

using a Citel gateway with Asterisk a good solution for reusing of the old
