It depends on what you're looking for (how big a business...).  Companies
like Octel make the larger ones, like 'ASPEN' that large comanies (and
cellular providers) use.  The smaller ones I've heard of that might sell
you just a board are:  Natural Microsystems (Watson board) and
Talking Technologies (Bigmouth board).  I have no idea where these companies
are located.

If you're looking for a turnkey system for a small business (up to 12 ports?)
(comes with PC/AT,Board,SW installed) call AVA Technology at (508)256-2099
and ask for Shawn Brown.  This is the only one of the smaller systems I've
used and it seems great for small businesses...

use them.  I don't work for any of the above companies and haven't compared
their products; those are just possible solutions to your question, that I've
heard of.
