For the kind of small arrangement you've described you could find that the Panason KX-TG4500 is suitable. It's a two or four line system. The main phone has the FXO ports. The rest of the phones are cordless 5.8GHz extensions. It can have up to 8 extensions. They come in handheld handset ans desktop handset form factors. The basic system with one portable is around $400 new. The extra handsets are around $130 each. The base unit has built-in battery backup. Tr here: http://www.101phones.com/cat/1971/Panasonic-4-Line-Multi-Handset-Phone-S ystems.html I've owned one of these for a long time. It's easy to administer. Has on-board VM, hold, conference, transfer, etc. It's an all-in-one solutioon for small operations.
