Abstract
Recently I have noticed a remarkable shift in the way companies
deal with telephone systems. More often than not the selection,
installation, programming and above all administration are put in
the hands of the systems administration groups. This paper gives an
introduction to the architecture and features of NFPS (new fangled
phone systems) which are rather different to the usual systems we
have to take care of. Additionally some of the new language you
will encounter is explained. And to round it off I will try to
relate some lessons learned on installation day as well as how we
utilize features of the new phone system to improve our daily
system administration.
