Hello Reddy,

The phone interface for ECSW is similar to ECS except it doesn't allow local
phone sessions.  There are some added features though.  Read them in the manual.

Do I understand that you can currently have ECS send pages over your panasonic
speakerphones?  I plan on installing a panasonic system.  I was also planning on
installing speakers in each room just for ECS.  This would be great news if I
could use panasonic phones instead!  How is the volume addjusted?  Thanks for
the info.
