Well, I might as well muddy the water also. I like the Samsung OfficeServ 100 for this. It's a standard TDM system that has voicemail, VOIP, loop start CO lines and digital sets. If you add a MGI card then you can have IP phones in your home that is registered to the work phone system with very little issues. I will echo others...keep your business on TDM phones! This is not a high priced system and it's very stable.

Agree with many others. Stay away from hosted VOIP solutions and snazy luxary cars. We had a doctors office cut over with out contacting us in the telecom dept and I had to pipe analog off our PBX because the company they were using didnt explain indepth possible problems and the logic of "all your eggs in one basket". So now they are back to thier old Partner and on bell co's after a costly learning mistake on there behalf.
As the great Bob once said, "Its a SWITCH its either OFF or its ON!"

I am happy with our change. The Nuvox T1 service has been very reliable, and I configured Asterisk the fast way using Trixbox. There were just too many config changes at first, but now that things settle down I may make my own Asterisk install from scratch. You want to know what makes me even happier? I took my "shoe box" ksu and WE 564 and installed it on my desk along with the Grandstream phone and get that wonderful BRRRINGGG sound! Well I even found a 50's style desk in a trash pile with a broken top, some bowling lane section and paint and it's beautiful! Of course I ended up getting all the grief when someone here couldn't figure out how to use their voicemail. They wanted to go back to the panasonic system, but since they just tell others to pic up line X I suggested installing 1a2 and an intercom!

another disadvantage of the hosted is - it more than likely uses the SIP protocol which limits your features greatly as compared to any Hybrid switch which usually use H323
avaya, toshiba, nortel, mitel, the way to go

I would disagree. People that know use MGCP...not H323. SIP seems to be coming into its own and incredibly the backbones of the "SIP" trunking networks are MGCP for a reason.

Hosted PBX is a bad idea. Once you hit the general Internet you loose all ability to enforce an SLA. Plus to get any decent performance you need atleast a partial-T with a minimum SLA. Right there you loose the savings.
If you decide to use a hosted solution it should have it's own privatized network (that does not traverse the general internet) with a minimum SLA statement. Good luck finding one of those. And your 24-hour add/changes will still be there too.
