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.

I guess I need
to clarify just a little here...I'm taking of an internal
telephone-type system that I can connect all of my computer systems to. It
really isn't that easy to have everything connected and ready to use at
any given moment. Of course, some folks will consider my "Ideal" switching
system to be overkill, which perhaps it is :)
One of my friends has some kind of AT&T Merlin phone system in his
house. He thinks everybody else is missing something.
