I have done some research, and it seems like the Nortel system is the most widely available and easiest to get my hands on. I also found a dealer who uses ebay who seems to have the best prices. Tomorrow I will probably call him to negotiate a package and to feel him out to see if he will offer good support. Yes, it is all new equipment, and comes with the manuals. Another plus for Nortel is one of the owners has used a Meridian 616 system for about 10 years and is familiar with it, and has 5 or 10 phones that would be compatible with the new system.

This is going to be fun [Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]

Will installing this system get me installer status on this forum?
