Strange. Bell Labs with all it's history and expertise can't get it's act together. It's like saying Ford can't build a car.

Richard, it's not Western Electric or Bell Labs anymore. That heritage was thrown away long ago. I don't think Avaya manufacturers or even designs anything. Where IS the IPO made? From what I can see it's made by some British company for Avaya. Avaya just puts their name on it.

I was at Avaya labs a several months ago to meet with some VP's and engineers to discuss "future plans" for my company. It appears that in the future Avaya will only sell software and no hardware. When you go to buy a new phone system, you will get a CD and nothing more. You will source your own server to run it on and you will source your own SIP phones to use. This seems kind of strange at this point, but it appears to be where Avaya is going.

Here is what I think of Avaya's future plans:  If Avaya does go through with this plan, troubleshooting problems will become real interesting.

Where do I sign up for Vodavi?
I think we should retitle this thread "End of The Line For Avaya" because that sure looks like what's happening.

Hal, if you are serious, send me a PM. They need dealers in your area.

Hal, those are very harsh words but I feel the same way, Avaya either needs to sh-t or get off the pot. I to will not sell the One X or the IPO as they are crap and there are to many other products out there that blow it out of the water and actually work right. I agree when the IPO first came out, it had it's fair share of bugs. But now with 3.2 it seems to be very stable. And 4.0, from what I gather, is going to be even better. edited for spelling We will not even look at selling the One-X right now, but the IPO has been pretty good for us.

Not sure if for the better or worst but it is coming like it or not. The days of the small key systems for your local parts store is short lived. And sadly to say your local parts store is too.
