I've deployed a few Grandstream phones with a single button-box. The box 
has 56 additional keys to the 7 on the GXP2000. It can support a 2nd box 
connected in to give 119 BLF buttons/speed-dials.

BLF was flakey in early Grandstreams, but seems to work fine for me in 
these systems - but I know Grandstream gets a bad rap by many these days, 
but it's not too expensive for a trial.
