Ictelco, thanks for the very basic explanation. It actually helps a whole lot. We would not need a published number for the DC area. Would you know the process of setting that up? (What we would need... etc.) And if we did it that way, would we be able to use intercom to communicate to the other phones in CO that are hooked up to the same PBX unit? Again, all this is new to me and so thanks for all the help.

ICT said it in simplest terms that totally explains
it picture a 3000 mile long flat gray satin phone cord stretched from Colo to dc to your ip phone you will be able to do just about everything someone in colo can do including intercom, paging ,check your voicemail etc...

Ok, so what would i have to do and what would i need to get that to work the way you just said?

I am not sure if you have a tda in place but if you are having trouble with theory behind the concept of ip phones I would get the company that sold you the system(since this is not a do it yourself system) to set up a VPN between the two locations and install the cards in your system and do the programing and show you how all this comes together......

What kxtvet said. You really need to contact a Panasonic dealer. Or the dealer of any other system that has VOIP capabilities, which is pretty much all manufacturers now. John C.

This is really beyond the scope of this forum. (IMHO)
Why not contact a Certified Panasonic dealer in your area who has experience with this equipment.
They could explain the options face to face and give you some clue as to the costs involved on both ends.
