42s in a law firm, PRI not possible.
I'm moving them toward a CS100 then we can consider PRI.

Then my only obstacle is they have 10 lines from one provider and 8 lines from another.

Details at 11!

Originally this office had 5 lines and 7 extensions, thus the 42s was a good fit. Then one day I get a call and the race was on.

1 Original office will be merging with another law office and we are all going to combine in a new location needing 10 lines and 17 extensions.

2 Three months later the recent marriage is on the rocks and original lawyers want out and desire to return to previous location. I say cool, now who gets the phone system in the divorce? The 42s stays put and back at the old location they buy an E-Class with 612 card.

3 A few months later at 42s location they call and are moving downtown. On move day I load up the 42s and install at new downtown location and add several phones and a port card.

4 A few more months later I'm in for a service call and along with the 42s is an Avaya IP office and 7 phones. Another wad of lawyerettes from another firm have move in with my gang and brought their own lines and system.

5 This goes on for about a year and I get the call that they are moving again, not a biggie just from 3rd floor to 2nd floor. The call came on a Tue so I told my contact I would come by on Wed so we could talk about it, you know, work out the logistics.

On Wed I go over and take the elevator up to the 3rd floor. Door opens and there was the gang with boxes, keybords, yada yada yada. Talkin is over, we are moving now!

I grabbed the 42s and took it downstairs and set up my own private extension so I could help KLD do a Kansas service call and the rest was shoot from the hip. My competitor showed up to move the Avaya and got caught in the same trap. His name was Mike, we both knew each others predicament so we worked as a team instead of competitors. We both made fun of the CG (Dimitri) when he got there. We didn't add him to our team.. :rofl:

Anyway Mike and I got them all working and the time has come for Mike and I to become competitors again. I go to my contact and explain that REAL businesses don't operate with 2 incompatible systems under the same roof. Basically I told her to buy 18 more Avaya phones and expand the Avaya system or buy 8 more ESI phones and get it organized. You do the math!

So here we are maxing out the 42s and soon to upgrade to a CS100. I haven't seen Mike since last Thursday, Dimitri is hiding from INS, Nuvox is PO'ed cause I moved their channel bank when they said it couldn't be done and the S-Class in Kansas is set up for a cordless on EXT 132!
