I know its a very sad thing but i'd be quite happy to just have a
complete system arrive on my doorstep, plug it in and away I go at
the moment!  Its all to technical for me (a simple network engineer)
to grasp!  I don't really want to be spending loads of dosh on
something I KNOW I will never use!

BTW, if you haven't set up your asterisk system yet, how are you
getting your cisco phone to work?  And, are you likely to be
upgrading to the new color screen model any time soon?
