I have a customer with an IPK II at a Law Enforcement Center. They were wondering if they could get a digital recorder that would record conversations on the digital phone and store it elsewhere in the building other than the phone system. Anyone have any thoughts. Thanks.

NEC has recording solutions, if you are a dealer or reseller you can find them in master quote.

Also, it depends on the type of CO line; you can put devices on CO lines that automatically begin recording on offhook. Radioshack used to have 'em; bet Sandman still does.

If you're desperate, any handset is analog, so a recording device can always be added to a handset.

There are some federal rules about recording conversations, so you (and they) will need to comply with those rules.

A work-around to consider is "Group Listen" -- user presses the speaker button but continues to speak on the handset. Listeners can hear both sides of the conversation through the speaker. This may (in some states) circumvent restrictions on recording conversations without consent by allowing the listeners to be witnesses to what is said.

Consult competent legal advice before applying any recording solution. IANAL/TINA.
