HH doesn't support MSN, so it's not really practical to connect a
PABX to the digital port - you won't get the benefit of CLI, and may
have trouble configuring the PABX.

If you go for business Highway, you should be ok. Consider the
cybergear gold (available from www.aa.nu and others) which is a 2+6
configuration with a router. See also Peter Strangmans pages at
www.adelheid.demon.co.uk for evaluation of ISDN pbx's sourced from
Germany at great savings...

On the analogue ports you can use any conventional 2+8 PABX. I would
avoid the second hand market - documentation on old PABXs can be hard
to come by. Maplins et al sell the Olycrom 2+8 which is feature
packed and a nice bit of kit for around UKP 300.
