Is it possible to get 202 analog single line handsets on a Nortel BCM/50/200/400/450? If so what configuration wold I use. This is for a simple motel that just needs a single line handset with voice mail and auto attendant for local dialing only no long distance so no SMDR for rebilling of long distance.

I don't think there's any way to get even close to that many analog sets on a BCM.

I would highly recommend a Mitel SX-200 light or EL. If you can do a Norstar or BCM you can do a Mitel.

I would reccommend an eMetrotel UCx450 with 4 48 port and 1 24 port Grandstream FXS gateways. For the administration phones, they could use Nortel IP or various other SIP phones. Total cost would be about half of a Mitel solution.

A bonus is that you can get eMetro to load up a module called Pbillx. It's a PMS interface application that was written specifically for Asterisk systems and has been certified by almost all of the PMS vendors worldwide. I've seen it in operation and it blows anything that's out there out of the water.
