Avaya for SOHO? [Telecom]

Greets!

For years I've been looking for a phone for home use which has durability, good audio fidelity (talk and listen) plus features like speed dial, full CLID support (including a display legible for "senior citizen" eyes!) and builtin answering machine or voicemail.

Sadly all I seem to find in consumer channels is the "zing-zang" stuff...you know it first goes "zing then quickly goes "zang" into the recycling bin!

I do miss the quality WECo put into their phones back when "Bell's" business model required the best phones which could be mass-produced.

Now as many Telecom Digest readers know, Avaya is the descendent of Western Electric. I think Avaya might still make the best desk type phones. Sadly Avaya's website seems aimed at the corporate telecom types who are going to buy a complete internal VoIP phone system along with 500 or more "voice terminals" .

Does Avaya or anyone else make good desk or wall phones which are POTS-compatible? If so I'd love some pointers.

Cheers......and do hope all the Americans here had a great Labor Day!
