What on earth does that system do? open the office, make coffee, sweep 
the floors and ???

For such a small system there is no earthly reason for it to be 10 
percent of that, even on a 5 year lease.
Unless there are contract reasons she shouldn't even consider a lease 
either.

I know that EVERYTHING is big in Texas, but that is nothing more than 
highway robbery.

An NEC DSX with CF voicemail and e-mail integration wholesales for well 
under 3K, double that and add cabling . . .
Well, you get the idea.
