Ok I understand the problem now.

Yes, then your solution would work, but you will need to be carefull with the programming of the PABX to avoid loops etc.

I think you're going to just cause yourself frustration having 2 separate PBX systems especially with such a small deployment.

If hosted PBX isn't an option, then keep the ISDN lines and get a PBX that can handle ISDN and VoIP. Also do yourself a favour and bin the analogue phones and get SIP phones. Once you have SIP phones it makes troubleshooting them a lot easier. Analogue you never know where the problem is which means you have to check everything: Card, cabling, handset, config. etc.

Hi guys

My guess/opinion is that all that is needed is one or two remote extensions on the PBX. To achive this one would need a FXO port/adapter to plug into the analogue PABX extension, and an IP phone which connects to the adapter on the network. This would ultimately make the IP phone to behave as an extension on the PABX, so one can call internally and externally using the existing lines.

Then once the contract on the Pabx is over, one can re-access to see if an IP based switch is beneficial.

my 2c

Good luck.
