We are planning to upgrade to a small PBX from a keyed system (the old 5 button clunkers) and have looked at AT&T's offerings. In particular they have one that is 'digital' (Merlin) and one analog (?). Is there any reason to choose among these, or others, with respect to use with modems or faxes ? Does the digital imply it can be used as an interconnect media for computers ? Jeff Sicherman jajz801@calstate.bitnet

I guess that digital would imply that it can be used for computers. There are two types of Merlin systems. One is analog (Plus) and the other is digital (Merlin II). The Merlin II can be used for asynch. transmission. I'm not a sales rep or even an expert on Merlin. Talk to a knowledgable AT&T sales rep for the full scoop on data connectivity with a Merlin II.
