With the rumors we hear about Nortel & bankruptcy, would they still, in your honest opinion, be a viable system worth considering installing?

Nortel isn't going anywhere. Their products are fine. I wouldn't sweat it at all.

Who you calling "Crusty" John? :rofl: Look at it this way. In Canada where Nortel had about 95% of the market at least at one time, that's a lot of equipment out there! I've got clients with systems that are 20 years old and, like Timex, still a'tickin'.

They do make good equipment but I think ethically if you are selling and proposing new systems shouldn't prospective buyers be informned of their current financial status?
No doubt those bidding against you will mention it and it would be easier news to explain coming from a reseller.

As a matter of fact I had you in mind when I posted that statement. No doubt Nortel makes good stuff, I know I'm waiting on at least two to croak and they just won't. I've tried everything and they just won't die and I'm talkin about the old 616.
Lane, I think the OP here is in your area? Check him out via recent posts.

You have a valid point Steve, however I'm banking on Nortel's reputation of building solid equipment. As John said, they don't quit. John & I will probably both be pushing up daisies before he has to change those.  . Even then, with the multitude of parts available here in N.A., I'll never run out of parts.

IMO, Nortel is like a lot of other big companies going through current financial trouble, but I don't think they will be going by the wayside anytime soon.
Their products are to solid and reliable.
Nortel may stumble, but I don't see them falling.

Do you know who is making the Nortel phones for them? Specifically, the T7208.

I would assume Nortel, or one of it's authorized sub contractors.
P.S.: Please do not hijack a thread. Start a new thread for the new topic in the future.
