We plan to be offering professional VoIP systems (NOT fly-by-night :-) around the September timeframe. We're working out the details now. The sort of VoIP we will be offering does VoIP only on our own network, and not over the open Internet, so quality of service is not an issue. PSTN-bound calls are handed off to the PSTN here in Reno.
The biggest advantage is that the PBX features of the system are hosted with us, so you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a box at your site. You only need to purchase phones and monthly service. (Think Centrex, but MANY more features, and probably cheaper.) Also, domestic long distance will probably be included, or at least flat rate. If you don't need PBX features, there's no real advantage. Though there are a LOT of spiffy PBX features that you just can't do with a regular PBX. Imagine having a single number that rings simultaneously at home, on your cell phone, and at work... and when you pick up any one of them, all the others stop ringing. Or, imagine that your voicemail box is just an IMAP email folder containing emails with WAV attachments. Watch for an announcement around the end of August, or early September. -- Bruce Robertson, President/CEO +1-775-348-7299 Great Basin Internet Services, Inc. company-wide fax: +1-775-348-9412 http://www.greatbasin.net my efax: +1-775-201-1553 Tim Moss wrote: > This isn't a Linux question but I thought some people on this list might > have experience installing or having a phone system installed. > A friend of mine is opening an office in Carson City and is going to > need a phone system setup for about a dozen stations.
