[comp.dcom.telecom] Voice Mail!!! Anyone? Anyone?

cruz@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Alex Cruz) (09/07/90)

The organization that I currently work for is considering the purchase
of a voice mail system.  I know nothing about voice mail systems.
Any advices?  I will post summary.

Incidentally, here is some pertinent info:

	- size of organization: 300 employees (likely to grow)
	- all in one building
	- will move to another building 1st qtr 91
	- do you need anything else? (I can't think of it!)

Thanks in advance.

We have used the "Aspen" system here, manufactured by Octel
Communications Corp. for a couple of years.  It seems to work fairly
well and reliably.  Our only complaint is lack of a message waiting
light (stutter dial only works if you use your phone often outgoing
during the day) but I believe that is just cheapness on the part of my
own company.

DISCLAIMER: Bellcore, and it's employees are not allowed by law to
have any opinions; Therefore I officially have none and didn't even
say this.
