I have a somewhat pressing need to replace an existing 400-extension
PBX which cannot be easily converted to VoIP and for which Centrex
service would not be economical (no surprise there).

I am pricing several options but I'm no longer up to date on what's
available in the unfashionable traditional-PBX marketplace.  What should
I be looking at, and what's it likely to run me?  Voicemail and a
dial-by-name attendant are requirements though I can bolt on an IVR system
of some kind for those if it's more cost effective. 

Almost all traffic is local to the PBX.  The minimal outside traffic
is currently handled by 10 ground-start trunks but this particular
aspect of the system could, of course, be replaced by something more
modern.  Elsewise, I really do want a plain vanilla old fashioned PBX.

Not that anyone seems to want to sell me one of those these days.

    And now he couldn't remember when this passion had flown, leaving him so
  foolish and bewildered and astray: can any man?
