How to use VOIP w multiline BIZFON 680 phone system

Want to switch to Vonage, but am unsure of how to connect fifteen separate phone lines with the ability to place one line on hold and pick up from a different line. If everyone in office has their own line, what will the "interface" be? Will I continue to use my BIZ FON system?

Thanks

You should speak with a Vonage VAR

I am trying to get a new business Vonage line and I sent in a request through the VAR to discuss whether I will be able to use the 680 with Vonage or not. Haven't heard from them so wondering if you have got this resolved.

The Bizfone stuff is small home-office, not true business, but you can get whatever Vonage plan best suits your needs. As far as interfacing it with Vonage, I pulled this straight from the BizFon website:

Telephone company lines: Six, six-pin RJ-11 jacks
Extensions: Eight, six-pin RJ-11 jacks

So, just get a few phone adapters (I think Vonage VARs have one which has 4 ports, or you can just use a bunch of the RTP300's at 2 lines each) and plug the phone cable from the Vonage adapter to the phone system's RJ-11 jacks. An RJ-11 jack is a standard single line phone jack, very much like the ones you probably have in your house.

I contacted Don Budzik, VP Sales @ ISI communications in Chicago. He was very effective in informing me how i go about transition in terms of nuts and bolts. His email is dbudzik@isi1.net
Hope this helps!
