It sounds like you probably had a fractional t-1 with 3 DIDs (probably more
that you didnt use).  Did your data also go through this pipe?  Get a copy
of your bill from the phone company.

Get a decent server.  The beefier and more redundant the better.  Get a
single span t-1 card.  As soon as you decide on a location, contact the
Telco of your choice and initiate the T-1 installation process.  It can
sometimems take months.  Ask them to extend the demarc to your suite if it
isnt already.  Make sure you have cat5e cabling to all the locations where
phones are desired.

Decide what phones you would like to ring when a call comes in, full
autoattendant or auto-attendant backup after some time of ringing
extensions.   Extension range.  IVR options (menu)

If you need additional info you can contact me off-list
stotaro@totaroREMOVEtechnologies.com

Thanks,
Steve
