The NEC Aspire is a good solid mid sized system. It does VERY well in mid-sized apps and is very price competetive. We got tired of losing 40-60 phone systems to other companies simply on price. Let's face it MOST people don't want email/fax server integration. They simply want a phone system that has voicemail and works all the time and it easy to use. NEC as a company has their sh*t together. They know how to market and how to support the product. I mean, all the software updates are free...HTF is that for service?
