And home many hours of labor to pull it off? What if I value my time at
$100/hour? I have more than four phones here. How much electricity would
that old PII computer suck 24/7? And then I'd have to give up some space
somewhere to put it. No thanks.

Instead I've ordered an 824, the 308 upgrade (to get me back to the 6x16
capability), two 7731s, and one 7736. This will give me seven proprietary
phones. I don't need quite so many proprietary ones, but Panasonic gives
their dealers 20% discounts when three phones are packaged with an 824.
