Our opt 11c is still running MerMail and we've been having a lot of hardware issues recently so we're looking at replacing/upgrading.
When it was installed, we had tie-lines to a second plant and corporate offices, but those are gone now so we only have the PRI circuit with around 80 lines total, mostly digital with some fax and modem lines.
We do have an existing (good) mpls network connection to our 2 satellite plants so voip would be a consideration.
We have a quote for upgrading to CS1000 hardware and replacement with BCM450 which requires all new handsets. The BCM quote is lower.
Any recommendations, or suggestions on other hardware that would fit? I feel like the CS1000 is overkill for our size, and we don't expect much growth in the future so extra capacity isn't a big deal either. (this plant has been here over 60 years and our industry is not a growth field really)
