CudaTel looks promising. At your lunch and learn, did you find out what phones 
they use? I'm guessing they recommended Polycomm. Also, the "10 max concurrent 
calls," does that include internal calls, or only outgoing with no limit to 
internal extension-to-extension calls?

Whatever you do, have a local vendor price you a comparative Shoretel solution. 
I have been blessed by Shoretel being my first phone solution, and I can 
imagine it being orders of magnitude more difficult as phones, phone behavior 
and user expectations are funny and fickle. Shoretel has handled nearly every 
curveball we've thrown at it.

Other options to check out (I am not personally familiar with these, but they 
have piqued my interest):
3CX
TrixBox (by Digium, the Asterisk guys)
Taridium 

I'm sure there will be other recommendations as well.
