i think youll be better off with just getting a 2100 and keep the 2000
as a test machine for running NPDS, ringer etc and test install new
buggy software. the thing is that the upgrades youre suggesting will
cause you a headache. just call GEM enterprises or any other vendor
with a reasonable price and do yourself a favour. check ebay, there are
several vendors, actually.

if you think its expensive, remember what the upgrades will cost! also,
its very useful to have a backup newt if something happens. if you
keep a spare unit, you can simply restore the info/packages you need
and use that.

warmest regards,
