I had the impression that the main difference between analoge and digital phones was that (among other things) analoge phones had to be connected to an AD/DA-circuitry, be it an fx-board or an ATA. Digital phones, on the other hand (be it ISDN or IP) do the AD-conversion in the phone itself. You write that digital phone are "not connected to switches" and "are isolated from data traffic". Somehow i've got the impression that connecting phones directly to your asterisk server, without any switch is hard to do. And with enough bandwith on GB switches nowadays, i fail to see the strict requirent to isolate voip from data-traffic.... Perhaps you could clarify, as i am not AVAYA-certified.
