So with that in mind - I need to see if there is a way to get ext to ext dialing between a FreePBX and a Mitel system?

I can say yes to Freeswitch and Mitel lol. But I am entirely biased here.

How many Mitel phones and Inter-tel phones do you have? Are you using extension prefixes to get between PBXes?

We have approx 120 phones. No, there are no prefixes at least I don't think so.
Each building is separated into 11xx, 12xx, 13xx.
But I have a 11xx ext on the Mitel PBX that's mainly housing the 12xx extensions.

Is this Mitel cabinets and digital phones, and if so how are they connect to each other? Ethernet, Fiber or 24 pair?

Or is this Mitel VOIP? I am looking and cant find where you posted the model numbers of the phones.

I have a little of everything.
Mitel 5000 - 43 Model 8622 VOIP phones
Mitel 5000 - 19 Model 5320 VOIP phones
Inter-Tel Axxess - 63 Model KTS (550.4000) digital phones

All systems are linked via IP over ethernet.

Second site looking good after update.

But - I'm once again looking at options.

I really don't want to wholesale convert my 120 phones all at once, but (and I'm waiting on confirmation) I think Mitel is phasing out their old 8622 phones and the A license they run on, and moving to newer phones (don't know model) that require C licenses. This makes replacing one phone cost $500+.

As some around here know, I have a multi-node PBX. Two - Mitel 5000's (VOIP phones) and one - Inter-Tel Axxess (digital phones).
The Axxess went OEL last year. Mitel has an upgrade path that replaces the Axxess with a 5000 and a digital controller so I can keep using my current (old ass) phones.

But - if Mitel is going to make me move away from using my current A licenses (as of yet unconfirmed), it might be time to really look at moving away from them before we spend any money what so ever with Mitel.

Mitel 5300s by chance. And does FreePBX has templates to provision these?

A very small number of the phones are 5320's. And I have no clue if ext manager for FreePBX has a template for them or not.

What I would like to do is have an alternative PBX side by side with Mitel, and replace the old Mitel phones slowly over a year or more. Once everything is moved, kill the Mitel/Inter-Tel stuff.

Four sites completed. Looks like a solid process. We are ready to do ML tonight.

Lamenting the fact that other obligations tonight will prevent me from working on RHCSA concepts.

Yeah, I thought it was "stic" was an odd typo as well.

Was hoping for a free Linux bare-metal restore backup solution through Relax-and-Recover. That didn't work out, and there are no others I can find like it.

So... FWBackups / RSync is the winner on this special-case Fedora 26 physical server.

For anyone following this, I was able to successfully do a bare metal network-based (NFS) recovery of Fedora 26 using Relax and Recover (ReaR).

I summarized the steps to get it working here: https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1575#issuecomment-344732487

Worked for me. Though I'll either use LastPass or Steve Gibson.
