Looks like we are finally moving ahead with a Mitel 3300 and are
looking into options. Unified messaging, faxing, softphones are all

I would be surprised if Mitel had proper sip compatibility. Definitely not
from what we've seen.

Why don't you go for a true sip-based ip pbx?

Even with out trying them I can tell you they wont work. The 3300 uses
Minet as its protocol.
