Got it, that makes a lot of sense. Nice to know that this forum is here! I'll keep a look out and see if there's anything I can help with. I don't know all that much about this switch, but I've delt with enough "little issues" that I might be able to give some advice!

Thanks for your help, merlinman. Good idea on using a POTS phone as a ringer bell! That would save some money over a "ringer bell solution" that our vendor is trying to sell us for $200. About adding "SA Buttons" on the copy room phone: I have six on there now, but whenever a call comes into...

My firm has a Merlin Magix (R2) switch. I want to have another phone setup to cover reception. Our receptionist is always in the copy room, and misses calls. The copy room phone is setup as primary coverage for reception. Here's the problem -- when in the copy room, the receptionist hears...

My CD-Rom drives are not being given a drive letter by Windows 2000. The drives are displayed on device manager, and are displayed in the storage report of my Intel Ultra ATA controller. They do not show up in Disk Manager, so its not like I can manually give them a drive letter. They used to...

I setup a VPN on my firm's Windows NT 4.0 (SP6) Server. I can connect (over DSL) from my W2K workstation without a problem, however network browsing seems incredibly slow. When I map a network drive, performance improves significantly, but applications still run painfully slow. The server...
