  First, I would like to thank all those who responded personally to my
inquiry about modems/fax(es) and PBX's. I will surely raise the compatibility
issue with all vendors.

  On a more mundane level, I would like to get outside opinions on the
various PBX'S available. I would expext this MAY have been discussed (or
beaten to death) in this digest before (I'm a VERY new subscriber), but
since the archives can't be searched online, I'm loath to get hugh volumes
of them and start searching. If anybody can direct me to when such a
dialog ensued, I would appreciate it. Commercial/Consumer reviews of systems
would also be appropriate. Both the usual gang of suspects and some of the
more do-it-yourself systems are OK; not afraid to get down-and-dirty with
installation IF the instructions are good and support decent.

  Note, I'm talking about small PBX'S: 3 or 4 lines, less than 16 lines for
the foreseaable future. (Merlin-scale or smaller).

  Thanks in advance
  Jeff Sicherman
