If they're all in the office, how about a VoIP capable PBX? Connect all
the ATAs to the PBX, then have the PBX connect to either your existing
legacy PSTN connections, or SIP/IAX trunks to an ITSP (eg. the one you
currently use?)

Even if you have a few remote workers, they could still connect into
your office PBX - make sure you have a good business quality ISP though!

And you don't need ATAs... You could give people dedicated SIP
deskphones (or soft phones) if required - I guess it depends on the
existing intrastructure - if you already have a lot of analogue phones
cabled in, then ATAs might be the better idea... But there are 8-port
ATAs avalable too...

You can build your own PBX (eg. an asterisk based system, or trixbox),
but there are many pre-built systems which will do what you need it to do.
