[TriLUG] telephone system advice

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

If it needs to be POTS,  I have an Avaya Partner ACS system that I'd love
to get rid of.

It can handle 3 lines and 8 extensions without expansion modules, but I've
got those too.

Let me know if you're interested.

I've also got a Nortel Norstar system, but I don't remember how to
"program" that.

...but yes, using FreePBX with Cisco 7960 phones for $20 each from eBay is
a better option.
