I’ve had a Diverse ISDN cordless PBX for over two years now. Very versatile – doesn’t need earthing plus a maintenance contract which makes multi-line analogue PBXs cheap to buy but expensive to maintain, and has loads of features – plus up to eight different MSNs if you want to have separate numbers for the kids etc. If you connect it to a business ISDN package you can take advantage of the “call hold” option. When you put a call on hold, it is held at the exchange rather than at the PBX, so while you can only speak on two lines simultaneously, you can actually handle four calls at once.

 

There is a price though – ISDN is obviously more expensive than two separate analogue lines – but as I’ve mentioned it is still cheaper than running a two line analogue PBX. I’m sure Keith will explain why the requirements are so rigorous.

 

The BIG advantage is that it will handle 8 cordless extensions without ANY CAT5!

Every so often people talk about getting a PBX here or on the irc room. Was looking around for prices on these & found http://www.tmilimited.co.uk/general_telecom.htm

 

If you follow the home link they've some very fancy & expensive options but the above page seems to be the cheap end of the market (which is where I'm looking.

 

Just thought it might be useful.
