Well, tomorrow's the big day. We're finally cutting over to the new Cisco VOIP phone system. I'll be glad to get this Inter-tel system out of my NOC and more than happy to get rid of the 66 blocks that make up the current physical layer of my telecommunications infrastructure.
It's probably just a bias, but I really hate 66 blocks. The wires are usually all stringy and messy and the setup looks so fragile that I'm always afraid the CEO's phone is going to get disconnected if I just look at the wiring too hard.
VOIP, on the other hand, goes right into my existing network infrastructure. Just a few VLAN changes on my trusty 4507r, and we're good to go. Clean, quick, efficient. That's what I'm talking 'bout.

Mmmmm... 66 block pasta!
More 66 block mess
Alas! The Cisco Call Manager system
And so, they lived happily ever after
