As.far as the repackage - not a bad idea but I think it would add to the final cost unlike the $5 black box.

Oh come on, if you want to sell a rack mount fine, go with a 600 or some other. No need to do away with my little black box that kicks a lot of competitors butts for that very reason.

I also sold a job with 2 locations, ESI Linked with mobile messaging (great for the Real Estate business). Hey what about the Loop key feature, that was a long time coming too.

Speech to text? Havent looked yet but does the installers site show all the new roll out features I have missed since 2006? marlonostil@gsolutionz.com

The site does show everything...but not a list..you will need to search the various rollouts. SIP trunking is huge....every customer i talk to is interested....i analyzed a bill yesterday......it is currently $800 / month with a CLEC....i can take them to around $300. If they are with the ILEC the savings are even more dramatic. John Corrigan New Phone Systems and Service

Is there a big difference with ESI products with regard to SIP functionality or is it simply a matter of ESI now supporting SIP? I'm curious. Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX
