The Man said simple, keys for each line, answer from all over office, human voice preferred. This means KEY SYSTEM, set up as a square system. Panasonic, all 24 button phones so that all stations look and function the same, any one with a lot on thier mind can walk into any office and pick up line '6'. If they want the fancy stuff they can get displays and CID. With the 24 button phone you can see all 12 lines and then have 12 lighted buttons for intercoms without the need for extra adjuncts flopping around. Remember he said the words TIE-HAPPY, they were happy with a simple system. Some folks just want to dial and talk.
The Panasonic is great, can be set up as a simple key system and has the other stuff in rerserve if needed, also has a real multiline cordless that does not cost an arm and a leg for those people that need to move around a lot. Thats my 2.75 cents worth!!
