Reataylor is right, AA/VM is $$$$.00, AA by itself is $$$.00 And if you get seperate units, you don't have to tie up the VM unit answering outside calls. And the AA uses plain old single line ports, whereas, VM uses COV ports, which you probably do not have, unless you have some Mitel Superset 3 or 4 phones. (The console runs off a special port in the system, so don't mistake it for some sort of special Superset.) That means even more $, altho COV cards are coming down in cost, because the SX50 is no longer a current system. And again, VM is not in real demand any more, what with cell phones. One more thing, some hospitality franchises do not allow AA's, so if you are a franchised property, check with your rep. I know that's not good news, but neither is losing your 'flag'! John C.
