You can have eight or more lines with both digital or analog.  Pricing 
between comparable an analog deployment or a digital deployment will 
vary quite a bit depending on the providers and your arrangements with 
them... so you may want to factor that in to your decision making.  
Hardware prices, too, will vary, dependinng on what you purchase and how 
you purchase it.  However, your options with an analog deployment are 
greater than those with digital.

With analog you can use MainPine RockForce, MultiTech ISI, Comtrol 
RocketModems (II and not III), and Equinox Multimodems.  The maximum 
density is 8 modems per card... so you'll need one or more cards 
depending on your needs.  I would recommend using any of these in Class 
1/1.0.

With digital you can go with Patton 2977 (in Class 1 after a firmware 
update), Eicon Diva Server, or a slightly more complicated arrangment 
with Asterisk PBX and iaxmodem with any suitable hardware there.  My 
recommendation here is to go with the Patton.

Anyway, we have this conversation about once a month here... you may 
want to check the archives.
