Need some more info

[Kylemc20]

I am looking at buying a system and need some more info on it, plese.

(1) 206E R4.1
(1) 200E R3.1
(1) ACS Proc. R3.0
(1) Partner VS R5.0
(7) Legend ETR-18 phones
(7) Lucent Partner 18D black phones
(1) Partner Mail VS Card
(1) Remote Access Card
How many phones and Line compacity does this system have? Good/Bad?

7 lines, 14 phones. The VS card should tell you how many VM ports you'll get. You should end up with 1 spare slot. Good/Bad? Depends on price, condition, does it cover your current needs, will it cover your future needs or will you need to go to a larger system soon?

It is in good condition and will fit my needs. Do you think that $800 is to much, Just right? Just wondering. Or in other words would you buy it for that if you needed it.

Another point to consider would be that all of the processors and the voicemail have been out of production for several years now.

Avaya's current Partner lineup includes the following as well as a few other obscure modules:

Partner 308 expansion module. (3 lines 8 extensions)
Partner 012 expansion module. (0 lines 12 extensions)
Partner ACS R7.0. (6.0 may still be in production as well).
Partner Messaging R7.0.
Partner Series II 6D 18D and 34D telephones.
New 5 module carrier.

Franke pretty much covered all the bases.

My thought would be, assuming the funds are there, to build a new phone system around a Partner ACS R6.0 (The R7.0 has been plagued with several software bugs), 308 expansion modules, the R5.0 voicemail, first generation Euro 18D & 34D telephone sets and a new style 5 module carrier which spaces the modules out better than the old style. This helps dissipate heat and prolong the life of the system.

Throw in a surge protectors for the telephone lines and a UPS to keep the system powered up during power failures, and you're good to go!

If the equipment in your list meets your current and immediate future needs and is priced right, you can buy it but, as the old saying goes, "Buyer Beware".

One way to tell if the package price is good is to price the different components from established online vendors.

Metroline Direct is a good starting point. Here is their link:
