Ours is a Nortel, and runs by being connected to a BCM3000 which is not
cheap, but is a nice small phone system (We have 16 regular extensions,
and support for many IP phones).  It is quite expandable too.  I think
it runs somehting like $12000 for 6 regular extensions, the BCM3000, 3
IP phones, and such.

It also has h.323 gateway support, so it can technically connect to
internet standard basd voice over IP software, although I haven't tried
it, so I am not sure exactly how that would work.

Cisco also makes such things, but apparently change a lot more money for
it.  Not sure what the 3com stuff costs.

It is neat to have someone in Windsor hit 9, number, and be dialing
Toronto locally though.
