On the subject of actually BUILDING a 1a2 ANYTHING --

After talking recently to a few phone system people in the SF BAY
area, I would just go out any BUY 1A2 stuff if I needed it as these
guys will sell it for practcally nothing.

Examples $10 for five line phone ... Maybe $2 for a 400 line card.

$50 would probably get you a complete system with phones if you call
the right place.  Since not many businesses WANT 1A2 stuff, and it
gets traded in all the time, the trade in stuff is cheap and easy to
come by.

Do some calling in your area.  In this case I think it is cheaper
to buy it than build it.
