Depending on how busy their phones are, they could "oversubscribe" 8 phones to a 2-channel BRI line, or even get 2 BRI's and have 4 channels available. Now depending on what they do for Internet access, an integrated T1 could be an ideal solution. Use 6 or 8 channels for voice, and have the rest for data.
