You could use a Digium TDM2422B, which has 8FXS and 8FXO, and leaves you 8 ports past that for future FXS or FXO expansion. That card, with a normal Asterisk rackmount or tower server, and a mini patch panel and amphenol cable I would think would do the trick.

For phones, I would suggest the Linksys SPA-941 or something from Polycom or Snom. Get yourself a decent APC, Tripplite or other battery backup unit as well.

Sometime this winter we want to move our company to asterisk from a very old comdial executech phone system.

At this point I have a system setup at home that we've been using for several months. I've tried the grandstream bt101 but have had problems keeping it working - some days the message waiting indicator works sometime it doesn't and caller id display is questionable also
I'd like to try the gxp2000, I've heard it can auto answer.
I also have a sipura 841 but the speaker phone is terrible on that, and I haven't found a way to setup auto answer for paging or transfer announcement.

So I need suggestions on phone that can auto answer for paging - to let people know a call is waiting for them.
They also need a good caller id display.

Also we are out in the country so a T1 is out of the question price wise. We currently have 4 phone lines and would like to increase that to possibly 8.

What hardware would you suggest to connect up to 8 phone lines into the asterisk server?
