I'll give you more details:

We have two offices.  Medium sized office ( 20 phones ), and a small 
office in a different city ( 5 phones ).  We have plans to open a 
business office that will handle all incoming phone calls.  This 
business office will be next door to the medium sized office.  So the 
plan would be two fold:  FXO ports for incoming, and FXS ports to the 
avaya system itself.

Honestly, the way this setup is looking, it may be more problematic to 
band aid the situation as apposed to simply doing a full phone system 
upgrade.  I'd prefer to do that, but I'm making sure there isn't a 
shortcut so we could reuse our old equipment and avoid the retraining of 
our staff.

Thank you for the input.
