I'm currently using Norstar (nortel phone) and they suck major.. ie not expandable.. bad memory features, etc + ripoff..

Anyone know anything about these IP Phones ? can they work well with regular phone lines ?
 
The Cisco IP phones (7960 and VIP 400) are IP only. They also will not work "stand-alone, " or over the Internet. They *may* work over a private WAN, but Cisco VoIP is still pretty sensitive to latency. A careful site-survey should be conducted for end-to-end qualification of the network should be done before purchasing or installing a VoIP system.

On the "plus" side, they do run XML, so you can customize your menus, display Web-based information (if programmed to do so), or display other information from a server other than the Call Manager. I believe one of the airlines is (or will be) putting Cisco VoIP phones in their lounges, so that member/customers can check their flight schedules (on the phone display) while conducting other business.

FWIW

Oh shucks

dang, do you know what kind of phone system is good to handle large amount of lines.. instead of turrets..

 
Do you have a Nortel PBX? Which one? What O/S rev? (etc etcetc)...

I'm not much of a voice guy, but I work in a building that has a few, I can ask around for ya.
