atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums General General Telephone & Systems Information Cheap system to put in at home

yeah, i figured i was the only teenager here too. i dont have a phone system (yet) but hopefully i can get the old Inter-Tel AXXESS that has been sitting at my mom's work for 2 years. No phones unfortunately, but I can try to get some from my dad's work (buy old ones or work it off)
Also, Im not necessarily considering telecom as a career. Maybe networking, web design, etc. I took some web classes over the summer and enjoyed them a lot.

Mitch, no offense was meant. Just trying to keep you east coasters in line. Being so close to the capitol, you guys end up breathing a lot foul air. I just installed a system out in D.C. I don't how you guys live out there. Man, I could not wait to get back to the Rockies. Kudos on the seafood though. Got to give credit where it is due. If you see any politicians out there, tell to take a good visit to the Jefferson memorial. They all could use a refresher course on public service. Later dude!

the 2nd greatest thing in the world is watching the sunset over the rockies and enjoying rocky mountain oysters (hahaha)

BUT the 1st and most greatest thing in the world is watching the sunrise over the ocean, sitting on a boat sipping cognac and puffing on a cigar and then enjoying fresh clams, oysters (not rocky mountain), lobster and crabs,

OOOHHH what a minute.....I just woke up.....

No, I don't think I would wnat a career in telecom either. Nor do I have that option since I go to a college prep school (wouldn;t mind installing a few small systems on the side though). If you do wind up with that Inter-Tel system you will have yourself a nice system. I can't say the same for mine. Mine sucks! If I wasn't going on a spring break trip I would buy a brand new system. Of course, then I have the problem of my parents. They don't quite understand my interest in this stuff, nor do they want a system installed in the house. Therefore, as it is, I only have 2 stations on my system. Despite my numerous requests and trying my hardest to make them understand that having a whole house system could be a very good thing, they REFUSE to allow any more staions on the system.

i've been doing telecommunications since 1979, i'm ready to cook frys & flip burgers.

Im going to college for sure, dont know what I will study, but working in Telecom at my dad's work is a great summer job.
Since my dad works in the industry, he understands some of the stuff. As long as I dont bust too many holes in the basement he is ok with it.

You would think that my dad, being in the computer/internet business, would understand. Oh well. You have given me a good idea though, My dad's office has a rather old Vodavi (Infinite with the flaky old analog sets I think) that more than likely could use some work. I think there might be a good summer job oppurtunity there...hmmmm

If you really really want to play with a system, I have an old comdial 308 with four or more phones i will let you have for 200 bucks....i even have a manual....the phones arnt in the greatest condition, but they all work. It was the first system i installed in my house...now i have a norstar meridian so it would be my pleasure to pass it along to some. [email protected]
