Merlin's suck. I've got a full-blown miniature central office in my
house. The eOn (formerly Cortelco) Millennium could easily act as a
central office for a small neighborhood. It has all the features of a
regular telephone exchange and is completely programmable, and fits on my
closet shelf. I currently have 80 ports and a T-1 stuffed into mine
though I'm only really using about 20 (4 lines, voicemail/auto-attendant
and about 8 extensions scattered throughout the house). Once I get the
T-1 clock board for it I'll be using that as my link to the voicemail
system for clean and seamless call transfers.
I am UberGeek.
