[SASAG] Oncall & Call Forwarding Options

[Kurt Buff]

Understandable.

If you're going to be involved in replacing the PBX, I can recommend,
depending on your size, either Altigen or Shoretel. It's been a while
since I've used Altigen (which is probably better for smaller
implementations), but I'm friendly with a dealer, and like what I've
seen, and I'm a current user of Shoretel (which can start small and
scale well), and I like it a lot.
