I guess you're referring to me? yes, done with houses.
I looked at that new SIP system from Nortel. Held it and petted it, called it loving names.. but I don't think that it's real SIP, I think that it's proprietary still. At least from what was explained to me.

If that could bring them into this century, that would be great. But it's stiff competition with small companies like Talkswitch, Switchvox.. etc. etc. which are pretty well established within the small SIP space. (not to mention Asterisk in general)

Though that said.. I still run a 6x16 in my office (alongside a small VoIP box called Jazinga)

nortel

as the end-user, we started moving aggressively to shoretel a few years ago after Nortel became too expensive to upgrade vs. purchasing newer technology. still have a dozen+ Nortel systems, though, that we haven't replaced yet. from my perspective as the hands-on guy, they just work and work and work. and it's been a great career installing and supporting the equipment and users.

real shame, what's happening, if not criminal. but, that's probably part of a different thread.

I can imagine there's plenty of product available for the short/mid -term, but going to be interesting to see how the product evolves, assuming a viable purchaser is found.
