Check out the newest DAK catalog... there is a phone system there that can
have up to I think six or eight different phones, no KSU, and can deal with
2 incomming phone lines.  Somehow the phones use the same wiring in the house
to let you intercom between the phones... like dial an extension, or 
brodcast a message to all of them.  It looks cool to me!! the phones are about 
 $130 if I remember correctly.  

Let us know how they work if you decide to get a set!! (there is a 30 day
money back gaurantee)
