>> Our church has gone 15 years without a true office. We have purchased a home next to our church which will become our office complex. I need to install some sort of telephone system with 2 trunk lines and at least 5 telephone locations.

>> Every time I google for information, all I seem to get is sales locations that want a ton of information and most appear to be sites that provide this information to others that would be calling me.
>>
>> I prefer to read about systems, then call a possible provider with questions.
>>
>> Are there any good locations for just reviewing specs of equipment, technical reviews of such equipment?
>>
>> Hopefully, there has to be at least one trilugger is involved in telephone service who can steer me in the right direction on this.
