The Merlin system is quite nice and featureful, but I'd love to chuck it (and will next time we need to expand) because it's completely proprietary and nonstandard -- you can't even plug a modem into the damn thing. Can anyone tell me why we shouldn't switch to Centrex? Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc. campbell@bsw.com 120 Fulton Street wjh12!redsox!campbell Boston, MA 02146
