Its not compatible with the trunks used over here in NZ, the call
supervision
signals (which I believe are changes to the DC level) wont work with the
DSLAM
that provides the ADSL. If you are happy to have your pabx on a standard
line
however it should be fine, but you will lose the ability to have incoming
calls
in voicemail disconnct on hang up or to have lines on hold clear when the
person
at the other end hangs up, and you wont be able to get call supervision to
know
when the other end answers outgoing calls. Not an issue for all pabxs as
often
the smaller ones dont support those features, and I dont know if you have
the
same method of providing that over there as they do in the states and here
in NZ.
