However, I did lose the test voicemail message after unplugging the extension line cord from the KSU for 1/2 hour. The other parameters are still there. I wonder why staying connected to the KSU even when it is powered down maintains the voicemail message and it is lost when disconnected from the KSU.

How about some of these and a ups?

The link was just for the picture.

I can get those in the Dollar Store for just that.

Client will just have to re-set up their phone books...

Dave, The 2 test phone book entries that I had in an extension remained both after I unplugged the KSU overnight and after I unplugged the line cord from the extension port after 1/2 hour. I did lose the voice mail message after I unplugged the line cord from the extension port and checked 1/2 hour later. I would still warn the users that they may lose their entries and other parameters.

Thanks Bob. I intend to warn them. In the meantime I'll set up a system here with as much mumbo-jumbo that I can think of, including VM (Which I don't think they're using), then disconnect phones for a couple of days, then KSU and take notes.

At least I'll know what to expect and warn them about.

After that, the next step is to translate the user guide to French as I have a system going in for another client in about a month and French (nor Spanish) guides are available from XBlue. There must be a demand for these and can't see why XBlue hasn't acted on it yet...

If they are living in Canada they should be bilingual. You should be able to translate the manual on a computer and send it to X-Blue

I am sure they would appreciate that and they would have it for all the other customers in Canada. They most certainly are not bilingual in Kansas and sometimes we put ourselves out to do a little extra for our customers and our neighbor dealers.

Wanna bet about par-lay-vu-franc-A and imma-tacobender-como-sta-b-en? We here in Kansas speak America, doan-ya-know.....we are caught in the middle of Cajun, German, Polish, who knows what else PLUS Canucki.

Hate to burst your bubble, but just because someone lives in Canada does not make them bilingual anymore than everyone in the States can speak & write both English and Spanish. Here in Quebec, it is much more likely, especially in my area. Outside of Quebec, "bonne chance avec ça, mon ami". (Good luck with that, my friend)

I can speak & write French enough to get by and deal with my clients, however translating English to French for official documentation is a completely different ball game.

That being said, most, if not all of my clients would appreciate any effort on my part to accommodate them.

From a manufacturer's point of view, I would think that they would want the best translation possible to promote their products, whether it be French, Spanish or whatever.

You would think that you could get a manual & user guides in all the major languages of the world---after all, everyone has been talking about this "Global Economy" for quite some time, now. At least English, French, & Spanish for North & South America. Add German for Europe---then Chinese, Japanese & Russian for Asia. It just makes sense. Each individual customer or vendor should not have to go through the time & expense of doing this---it should just be available---not in hard copy, but at least as a pdf. JMHO
I'm with you, Dave.

I had a client that's a language school. I'm going to pay them a visit tomorrow & see if they'd be interested in doing this for me.

If they do, I'll send it to XBlue. If they won't, then I'll have to give it a shot, but will NOT be forwarding to XBlue as my French will not be perfect enough.
