I hate the intercom/bell system in our schools. Not that there is anything wrong with them, but they're troublesome, difficult to program, and very old.
I've got the opportunity to try a new system in a tiny school with only 4 rooms. So I' have been looking at IP based systems. So far, I've found that they are mostly SIP phone systems with special (and very expensive) VOIP speakers. Is there a system that can use existing analog speakers, but the "head-end" is IP Addressable? Or perhaps there are cheaper VOIP speakers/adapters out there somewhere? Can anybody here recommend for (or against) such a system? I _need_ the following features: * Broadcasting (All Call) * Medium to Complex bell schedules to specific zones. * Two way communication with a specific room. It's a long shot, but I figured I would ask. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
