I agree. If they could charge you every time you even thought about
picking up that receiver, they would. What's needed is a mini-Meridian.
Something that can start off with as little as 2 BRI's and then expand up
to a PRI line with cards. Voice mail, fax servers and the like could be
added. And make the software run on a PC or Mac, so that we don't have to
pay $1500 to upgrade the damn thing.

With the telecommuting marketplace exploding, I think this would be a
great product, plus you could tie it into the big iron and make a freaking
fortune.

Just my $.02,
