HI All -

My apologies for (1) responding to an older thread (2)for not responding sooner - I was out of town for work for nearly 3 weeks and this fell to the bottom of the list.


If I move forward with it, I'm planning for one or at least two POTS lines in every location - handle alarm, fax, credit card terminal, etc which I wouldn't want to put over a VOIP circuit. Even with the added cost of the the POTS lines to the flex reach product, my total telecom expenses would drop month to month.

The pricing on the product seems right for the services we would get; although I am not goign to do it until they can provided 3mb over bonded T1's since I am looking to overlay the flex reach T1 with MPLS circuits for my WAN.

I would still have the upfront costs of upgrading all my phone systems to support the product or trying to see what my options would be with an FXO or FSO card (and if they'd be available) on the routers and continue using the analog ports on my phone systems. Lots to figure out.

thank you all for your feed back.
