You mean, 3 * 4 = 9 ?? I think you meant 12 ports?

I would recommend the Polycom IP300, it is an excellent VoIP phone IMHO,
but I really really like my Polycom IP600 :)

You mean TE410/TE405 cards? Those a T1 or E1 cards, with each port
configurable individually.. Also there is the TE110p which is the single
port variant.
