You could try a suitable PBX. I use an Omnicom FS2828 from Maplin (about
300
quid). It's a fairly well featured 2-line 8-extension PBX with a serial
port
for printer output. I connected this serial port to my HA server and wrote
some software to log the calls. It logs the extension number, dialled
number, date, time and duration for outgoing calls. It's doesn't have any
support for caller id, so it can't log the callers number for incoming
calls. Also - and this is the same for all analogue PBXs as far as I'm
aware, it doesn't present caller id to the extensions. However, a caller id
unit attached to the incoming line, combined with the output from the PBX
provides the information you need.
