If I want' my 12 internal lines with POTS phones, I need something
like 3 TDM40Bs at $381 each, PLUS an FXO interface.  That's about
$1200 just for the interfaces if I'm doing the math correctly.

The TDM40B works out to be $95.25 per FXS.

The IAXy S101I  it's a Digium FXS-ethernet adapter.

It's a pbx system function not a separate intercom, the Panasonic PBX
can page either a specific extension or all extensions, turning on the
speaker phone without manual intervention.
