Do the linksys phones support BLF? A lot of businesses require/expect BLF. Do
the linksys phones support Asterisk setting the ring-type to auto answer so
that you can do paging and intercom? Businesses expect this too.

Dane - I might suggest the following.
(5) Linksys SPA-841, SPA-941 or SPA-942 (All work very well with
Asterisk,
and support 4 line appearances)
Not sure what your broadband is in the office, with 5 users I am
guessing
you are utilizing DSL or Cable broadband. You might want to consider
purchasing a firewall with QOS capabilities, like a the Sonicwall TZ170,
which is relatively inexpensive. This will also give you remote VPN
capabilities and if you want to set up remote extensions off your
Asterisk
PBX this comes in handy. Here is a good article on the TZ170 firewall.

For dual FXO you'll want a Digium TDM02B or you could purchase an
external,
2 port FXO gateway.
Also, once you have your Asterisk server up and running, determine the
power
load of the server, your LAN switch, and any related equipment, and
invest
in a decent UPS like a Tripplite or APC unit.
