I have just put in some analog phones that offer intercom/paging and work
rather well so far.

They are Smartalk phones. (NOT ADSI)  The guys there have been real good
about helping me get buttons programmed exactly the way I want them etc.
These phones also allow for staion monitoring and have an attendant console.
These phones use 4-pair wiring so 3 lines + power pair.  The power pair is
also responsible for the intercom/paging/station monitoring.  With the right
wiring it might work with an ata device.  Just a thought.
