I have an Executone IDS 42 system with 5 17-key phones. At present we have a phone company answering service.

I want to add voicemail but a local vendor told me that it can't be done because nobody supports the software needed anymore (since Executone went bankrupt and was bought out). Is this true? If so, what options do I have, other than buying a new system?

If I have to buy new system: He sells Vodavi - are they any good? Toshiba? Any suggestions? I have simple needs!

Thanks for any help.
