My .02c...(Purely my own opinions)..

Get the X100P and if you need 4 analog ports get the TDM400P..

I use an X100P and a S100U(2 analog phone cordless system) and then 4 IP phones..

Your choice of IP phones are..

"I don't care what it costs" - Go for Cisco..

"I do care what it costs but still want something stylish and feature packed" - Go for Snom200..

"Cost is very important cos the budget is tight but I still want a good usable phone" - Go for Grandstream 101 or 102..

I have 2 Snom200's and 2 GS 102's..

Hope that helps.. shout if you have more questions..

Just a note.. IIRC fax machines sometimes have some issues..

Later..
