Here's the link to their web site: clearcomminc.com
For you information here's the INDAVO model V6 specification:
DESCRIPTION Indavo V6 is a network access device that integrates six channels of data and voice communication over a digital link and uses I-Link's Real-Time IP network for transport and termination and also provides persistent Internet access to the office LAN. With its unique processing abilities, Indavo multiplexes voice and fax calls, and compresses them together with Internet Protocol (IP) data traffic. This is all done on a single digital line [ISDN, xDSL, and Cable with a cable modem] and is connected to the I-Link's Real-Time IP network. The result is a more efficient and cost effective network architecture that eliminates the need for additional phone lines and hardware.
Indavo V6 also provides single point integration, making it possible to create a virtual private network within your organization or with your suppliers and distributors, completely eliminating the costly long distance fees you are charged by your current long distance carrier.
The Indavo model V6 is a complete communication solution for small offices. It is located at the customer premises. The Indavo V6 features a PABX with 12 analog telephone extensions and 6 outside lines. In addition, by using an existing LAN hub (or purchased separately) the Indavo V6 offers Internet connection for the entire small office users who have more than the one static IP address the Indavo requires. Additionally, the managed private IP Network that Indavo traffic runs over also offers a host of Enhanced Features for the user.
PBX FEATURES Standard analog telephones connect to the Indavo which features advanced PABX functionality for local and outside calls. A PC-Phone Windows application, supplied with the product, enables any PC connected to the LAN to perform advanced telephony operations and can serve as an attendant station.
Some of the PBX features are: 1. Direct inward dialing 2. 3-way conferencing 3. Music or tone on hold 4. Feature dial tone 5. Call pickup 6. Call transfer 7. Call forwarding of all calls. 8. Call forward on busy / no answer to a voice mail 9. Ringing groups
NETWORK INTERFACE In addition to a 10baseT connection the Indavo features an ISDN interface for connecting to a network backbone. Up to two ISDN basic rate interfaces can be used for increased communication bandwidth.
CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT The Indavo is configured and managed using the Indavo-Manager. This is a Windows application, that allows you to configure the mini-PBX from a local PC, or even remotely. New software versions can be downloaded to the Indavo via the network. The Indavo is a wall mounted and AC powered communications device.

Here is your estimated savings worksheet for INDAVO V6 installation?????????
TOTAL COST OF CURRENT SYSTEM Current Line Cost:
ú Cost Per Line (enter current line cost) = $25.00 ú Number of Lines for LDS (enter long distance lines) X 6 = $150 Total Line Cost
Current Long Distance:
ú Cost per minute for LDS (enter cost per minute) ½ ö100 = $0.07 ú Average total minutes per month (enter minutes per month) = 10,000 ú Total LDS Cost = $700
State and Federal Tax (4% fed + 6% state) =10% X $700 = $70.00 TOTAL COST OF CURRENT SYSTEM: $150 + $700 + $70 = $920
TOTAL COST OF SYSTEM WITH INDAVO V6: One Time Purchase of INDAVO V6 = $1,200 ? cost of installation is zero.
Indavo VPN Connection (Includes one D.I.D. or 800 number) = $100 Additional Phone Number (enter #) X $5.00 per line = $0 ? for a 6 line, 12 extension installation V-Link Access One (One is included free) = $0 ? also includes free 180 minutes Total Cost of Long Distance = 10,000 minutes X 0.35 per minute with INDAVO = $350
TOTAL COST OF SYSTEM WITH INDAVO V6: $100 + $0 + $350 = $450 MONTHLY SAVING = Cost with current system - Cost with INDAVO = $920 - $450 = $470 per month RETURN ON INVESTMENT = $1,200 / $470 = 2.5 months
ANNUAL SAVINGS: $5,400 ? and represents a 49% savings over current charges and you get all the PBX features for free.
NOTE: The cost of xDSL line, approximately $100 per month, is applicable to both the CURRENT system as well as the system with INDAVO? so that is wash for the purpose of our analysis.
