Hal- Got to agree with you 100%. The small dentist office, doctor office, and resturaunt would be hard pressed price wise to need an IP system until it cost less than traditional phones.
And as was mentioned, if the Avaya ever moved away from the Partner (which they won't soon because they need to recoup the R&D of the new style sets) they will sell the rights to someone. There is just way too much Partner equipment to leave it hanging because the base represents a huge PROFIT stream in long term support and repairs.
No, get use to it, the Partner systems will be around and supported for many many years. Looking forward to releases 8, 9, and 10 !!
