The telephones do make attractive paperweights...
In all seriousness... Throw it all into a dumpster and spend the money on a system that actually functions, can be programmed, and is still supported. The Protege was a nightmare when it was new. Age has made it even worse.
The Norstar is a nice product. A small Avaya Partner or a Toshiab 40i, heck, any number of small systems would be much better than the Protege. I think that I would prefer a 15-year old Comdial Executech I system to the Protege.
