We have AT&T Merlin phones and they support selection of one of eight
different ring tones.  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?
