Absolute simplest choice is to use a Centrex system, which basically has
you using the Fairpoint switch as your PBX. Each office gets a POTS
line and all the features are managed from Fairpoint's office.

On the positive side, near zero startup cost. On the negative side,
you're paying a slightly higher monthly line fee. If you don't trust
Fairpoint to not screw it up, SoverNet or other companies can resell the
local loops so you can buy from them instead. (Runs off the same office
equipment though)

All,
What do small companies (5 people, 8 people max within 3 years) use
these days for single site PBX systems? Something that uses POTS lines
instead of special IP phones would be highly preferable from both a cost
perspective as well as a pure simplicity perspective. Something off the
shelf and solid state ideally.
