What is the price point you are trying to hit? Any piece of a 
proprietary telecom system is by nature overpriced to begin with, and 
receptionist consoles certainly fit into that category.

I agree that any touch screen ought to be able to do normal computer 
graphics. At this point, you are into normal LCD displays with touch 
capability, which I know retail over US$500 even for smaller ones. And 
at that point, you are back to doing a double-display on the 
receptionist computer, and in reality, you could directly run something 
like that FOP that everyone seems on about (if it fits your needs), 
since as I understand (never having programmed them myself) that 
touching a spot on a screen is the same as clicking a mouse there in 
terms of window-manager events.
