So far so good. ever since I password protected the voice mail extensions and disabled the VM ports from being to make outgoing calls (hence having access to the OBi ports) the hacker has not attacked.
i sent a request to OBi tech support asking how to disable 'Bridging' but have not gotten a response.
To LTN1. My analog system has 24 CO lines and appx 90 extensions along with integrated Voice Mail. I am loath to switch - unless, of course, I have to.
I would love to have a brand new VOip system, but my understanding is that I would need an CAT5 connection to each phone. My extensions are spread out over 60 acres and rewiring would cost $20,000+.
Good to hear that it is working. If something works, no need to change...I only brought up the possibility for an upgrade PBX if it doesn't work.
If, however, you plan to one day upgrade to an IP system and move away from your analog PBX, the cost of ethernet or CAT5 connections won't be nearly as large if you go with WIFI capable ethernet hubs at remote areas of your compound. Assuming you have WIFI signal boosts/extenders throughout your large compound, you would only need to install WIFI ethernet hubs near your VoIP connected phones or other devices needing ethernet connection. For the single remote location where you only need a phone or two, you can just get a WIFI enabled VoIP phone for that location without the need to set up a WIFI ethernet hub.
The sample WIFI ethernet hubs that I'm talking about are here:

Only do VoIP at your location after testing it on a smaller scale. Otherwise, I like the redundancy and stability of having landlines also in the event there are VoIP connection issues. It cost more but it is the cost of doing business in my opinion. So if you ever transition, I would have a hybrid system as a fallback to one or two landlines if necessary. Otherwise, everything else can go VoIP to save money in the long run.
