You should run your other phones through the Asterisk box.  The Sipura
SPA-2000 is very cheap and can handle two analogue phones.

Note that by switching off the Caller*ID support, you can't have
"distinctive ring" either - as the code stands at the moment.  It is
possible to modify the code to make it answer on the first ring, while
still maintaining support for the "distinctive ring".
