Check out the lastest Dak catalogue. They have two 'mini-office' phones in
there that work on 1 or 2 regular lines, and can also use regular phones. The
system allows pageing, intercom, music on hold, etc. But the most important
part is that you can still receive incoming phone calls while using the
intercom.
The phone were realitively inexpensive when compared to going with an office
system.
(don't quote me on the features, as they're jut off the top of my head right
now.)
