Suggestions for an office PBX system?

Hey there,

I'm looking to upgrade the phone system in our office to include call queuing, recording, and stats with automated greeting and attendant. We are currently running a Bizfon 680 system. We have the following:

-6 analog lines
-2 t-1 lines
-24 extensions (we'd like around 30)

I've worked with a linux system running asterisk before but that was a totally VoIP system. I liked working with asterisk but it's been years since I've last touched it.

Is there a way to use some of the existing equipment (analog) and run asterisk with a linux server? Are there any recommended companies offering systems like what I need (I've researched a few but they sell the shabang at huge prices)?

Thanks so much in advance, and if you need any other information I'll be sure to update!

ouch 2 T-1 lines.... for what? they have got to be costing you a fortune...

set up a VPN if need be, and get several DSL, cable modem, or FiOS lines (or a combination for redundancy)

I would recommend looking into a hosted VoIP solution.. it will be a lot more flexible in the future...
