Jerry,
I have never talked to GVP, so have no first hand experience with their
phone system, but believe I know the reason they do not use their own
product (PhonePak).
GVP is a fair size business, so they would have multiple telephone lines,
all with the same number, and some form of small PBX system.
I understand the PhonePak to be designed for single phone lines, and would
have no means for controlling, or interfacing to a PBX system. They would
most likely have to have a PhonePak on each incoming line, and be able to
tie all the boards/machines together some how so everything would be
seamless to the users (outside and inside), regardless of which line a
message could have come in to. Most likely doable, but it wouldn't be an
easy task, especially with having to communicate with the PBX system.
Odds are the system they are using is designed to work with PBX systems.
