I wouldnt get to involved with it cause basicly its dead... Bad Voice Mail, Bad Hook Switches in Phones, very weak when it came to power surges, and you needed a laptop to do EVERYTHING... A big fish that made a big splash and sunk... how many systems have we seen that followed the same route???

They don't have any support and were poorly built. More headache than it worth. Z-man Avaya SME Authorized Partner www.omniofficetech.com

Interconnects that had an account from Sprint/North Supply were given great pricing on this system and they fell for it hook,line and sinker.... Avoid this system and Omega/Iwatsu at ALL TIMES...

Can't say that I miss working on the older Omega III & IV, or the ZTD, but the ADIX has some pretty nice features. It really boils down to what you were brought up on. For me it was Avaya & Nortel, with some NEC and Iwatsu sprinkled in for good measure. The ADIX even has a very nice ACD package for a good price. I avoid Intertel and Telrad, not because I think they are bad systems, but because I not even sure if I could figure out how to turn one on or off It really just boils down to what you are comfortable with. Still, I wouldn't break any speed records to get to a Protege service call. I would have to be REAL slow in business to take that one on. Z-man Avaya SME Authorized Partner www.omniofficetech.com
