ok, let me clarify a little. I wil be creating a system to support 20 phones onsite with 2 fax machines. There will be a couple of analogue lines for backup but basically we will be trying to switch over to pure sip.
Currently they have 5 analogue lines with 2 additional dedicated to fax. So, I am looking to see what people have to say about handsets. What are the likes and dislikes out there. Hearing a big plug for the yealink and grandstream units. Is polycom still viable? who has handsets available to try/rent?
