RE: Micro exchange Ultimate 106

["Steve Morgan" <smorgo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,

Consider a 2nd-hand Omnicom FS2828. They go on eBay for 40-odd quid.
There'=
s
one on there at the moment, but it looks like it will need some work.

There are a couple of known faults that occur with the as they get older,
but there are simple fixes for those.

I have a mini-review here:

http://www.wormpurple.com/modules.php?name=3DReviews&rop=3Dshowcontent&id=
=3D3

It doesn't have the voice mail, but supports 2 trunk lines and 8
extensions=
.

If there's a power glitch, it will reset the internal clock. As I
mentioned=
,
earlier, a =A325 UPS from CPC will solve that problem.
