While this is certainly a step in the right direction, it needs to get cheaper to compete with
existing solutions.
For example if you were to configure a 6x24 (6 FXO ports, 24 FXS ports)  Panasonic PBX with voice
mail, it comes out to approx $48 per port including everything except the phones.  The FXS ports
support both ordinary analog phones and Panasonic system phones.
