I don't know of a local vendor for voip phones; Insight is in town but they
have warehouses all over the place. I ended up getting set up as a dealer
for a distributor and just order the hardware when I need it.
Prices fluctuate a lot so I while I do have phones to demo with I don't keep
any stock on them. Ebay has a lot of the phones/ATAs also from all the
companies going out of business.
