}(useful for testing multiple modems at once).

We use Panasonic 308's which can often be bought used for $250. They give you a full
pbx or key switch. Eight internal lines and three external trunk lines. They work
very well for this type of thing. You can have three intercom connections plus two
external connections going all at once. 

For trade shows you just get one outside line, one handset and demo up to seven
devices.
