Unless you are willing to go full VoIP, I would suggest that you find
yourself another 206E. These things are fixable (I have 160+ in the
field where I work), because they are rather simple. Only throw that
away if you cannot find the parts for it, or if you really want to get
rid of it. If you feel you want to skip it, please let me know and I
will pay for P&P, I want it! :-)
While I don't have the expertise to fix it myself, I can most likely put
you in contact with somebody who could either fix it for you (for a
fee), or show you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me
off-list for these details.
