I did an extensive search of these myself three years ago, and after
having evaluated 15 candidates, ended up selecting the CTG 1648/3264.
It is, in a word, FANTASTIC!  It does exactly what we need for our
business.  (We're a small 30-person office with lots of incoming lines
(13) and simple paging, intercom, and other "normal" features.)  I
would recommend it VERY HIGHLY.  Cost for us three years ago was
CDN$15,000 for the whole works, with battery backed up operation, all
handsets, and system console (i.e. receptionist's set).  Check it out.
