Merlin's suck. I've got a full-blown miniature central office in my
house. The eOn (formerly Cortelco) Millennium could easily act as a
central office for a small neighborhood. It has all the features of a
regular telephone exchange and is completely programmable, and fits on
my closet shelf. I currently have 80 ports and a T-1 stuffed into mine
though I'm only really using about 20 (4 lines, voicemail/auto-attendant
and about 8 extensions scattered throughout the house). Once I get the
T-1 clock board for it I'll be using that as my link to the voicemail
system for clean and seamless call transfers.
Does it support standard analog lines like one would use for modems? How
about pulse dialing? This sounds like what I should look into for my
systems. Where would a similar system be found, and would would the costs
be like? I suspect the only way I could afford such a system will be
surplus/auction/resale, but maybe not...
I am UberGeek.
I think we all know that by now ;P
