A business can buy a switch (from lucent/NT) which is located in their
building. They can then arrange to get a block of phone numbers from
the local telephone company.

The local phone company installs a fixed number of lines going to the
building - all messages are directed to this switch. This programmable
switch can then route the message depending on the number.

Most businesses use this arrangement if they have a large number of
people in one location. The advantage being that they can use fewer
lines relative to the # of phone numbers. The catch being that everyone
cannot dial out/in at the same time.

The costs will be much less than individual lines. My guess (including
maintenance) is $5-10/number.

Regards.
