So, I just bought a TalkSwitch 484vs.
It’s a crazy little device that combines traditional POTS lines with what I refer to as a “supershitload” of VOIP and digital features. Plus, it’s way expandable.
I’ve had to make the switch to new equipment because the VOIP phones I have suck over a DSL line of questionable quality. And packet loss on a voice call makes people sound like aliens. Not conducive to biz, you know?
With the Talkswitch, you wire 4 copper lines into the device, but then use any mix of digital phones or analog phones in the office, PLUS I can still have a VOIP phone outside of the office, just like I do now.
This is assuming all goes as planned, of course. I’ve never used one of these things before… but it’s the kind of challenge I just LOVE.
Anyway. I need to bring up the laundry, do dishes, and then start gettin’ the youngins ready for bed.But after that, baby, I’m going to RTFM.
Love to all. Even you, the first Verizon salesperson who quoted me something twice as expensive.

Read the Fucking Manual? Wow. If only all those guys would have done that back when I worked at Radio Shack, well, I might not have had as much fun giving them the wrong instructions.
That’s awesome. Freakboy.
Mmm. Technology.
Go you!
Dork!
WOW — rtfm - I’m so proud of you! And the fact that you admit to it!!!
Cool blog, and a solid review of TalkSwitch. You’re right, it does have a “supershitload” of VoIP features - plus a superdupershitload of other cool features too. Wait until you start digging into it. Trust me, you’ll love it.
Don’t forget to check out our website http://www.talkswitch.com and pick up your free on-hold music. Have a listen to Guitarra in Bb Minor - it’s a funky little riff I think you might like. Of course you could always jack in an MP3 player with something a little more edgy. And there’s a new software release that just came out yesterday that’s packed with new features. It’s free, just downlaod it, upgrade, and enjoy.
Love to all, even you big faceless telephone-system manufacturer who doesn’t take time to read the blogs of the people using your products.

Um? No idea what you’re talking about. But the tone is very happy!
