sundance-communications.com/forum Forums General General Telephone & Systems Information Need some suggestions.

I sell and install about two systems a year, mostly Partner ACS and Vodavi STS. I need to find something new, most of my customers have twenty phones or less, analog lines with basic voice mail.
Can you suggest some systems that might be worth a look.

Thanks

Vertical's SBXIP320 is supposedly the replacement for the STS. The programming is a lot different than the STS, but it seems to be a stable system with a ton of features (even some you might not want). I was a bit hesitant to take it on at first, but now that I've made it over the learning hump, I like it.

One note: When ordering the KSU, it is well worth it to order their pre-made 25 pair cable for the station/line connections. A real time saver.

NEC DSX.
Tremendous bang for the buck.

You are going to have about 20 different suggestions from 20 different people. You need to find a brand that has the right system for your market and expertise. With only two systems a year you won't be able to get an authorized dealership from many brands. TransTel has systems starting at 4 ports up to 1280 with business, lodging and FAA software packages.

I never installed a lot of systems per year and did several brands. Transtel was by far the best with tech support, which I think is important for a small dealer. It's also a nice system, though a bit different to program.

As Merritt stated you'll get as many suggestions as there are systems.
