You can save a little money with analog phones however if that saving is not an issue business class VoIP phones from providers like Polycom and Cisco have more features and much of the time better call quality.

The office will have 5-8 phones and a fax line. There are 4 hunt lines coming into the office. We have made no hardware purchase yet. Being an asterisk newbie, before I suscribed to this list I just assumed that I would buy voip phones and connect all the phones to a private ethernet network. However, I see many people inquiring about FXS cards. Is there any reason why I would need to consider using analog phones and FXS cards? Seems to me the cheapest way is with voip phones and voice quality should be good since the phones are on a private network that only has voice traffic.
