Talkswitch has released a new addition to its pbx, IPPBX line. The new hybrid 244vs. I have deployed one of their systems (not 244vs) with Polycomm phones and I and the users are very happy with it.
If you need to provide VoIP service for SMB, Small Business, I would suggest that you have a look at these systems. It is not the perfect solution but it will get you there without much hassle. Unless you have resources to manage an IPPBX like Asterisk or Trixbox.

I learned about this at VoIP News.
The TalkSwitch 244vs is a full-featured hybrid VoIP/traditional PBX telephone system that includes everything you need to sound big, control your communication costs and stay connected everywhere.
2 telephone lines (POTs lines)
4 VoIP trunks
4 local extensions
10 remote extensions
VoIP and traditional: TalkSwitch gives you both as the 244vs is a hybrid system, with capacity for VoIP and traditional telephone connections. You can save with VoIP services and VoIP inter-branch connections without sacrificing your connection to the traditional telephone network. It’s the best of both worlds.

Remote extensions keep you connected, if your work doesn’t stop at the office, and neither does TalkSwitch. Any phone, anywhere, can be added as a remote extension of your system. Cell phones, home phones and phones in other offices can be reached with simple 3-digit dialing, and calls can be seamlessly transferred and screened. With remote extensions, your customers, employees and partners can always stay connected.

Unlike most PBX systems, TalkSwitch doesn’t tie you down to proprietary telephones. TalkSwitch systems work with standard analog phones and selected IP phones, so if you already have telephones, chances are they’ll work with TalkSwitch. If you do need phones, check out our line of analog telephones tailor-made for TalkSwitch.
