    Cost and ease of deployment, yes.  At this specifc location we are

You should be able to also connect the Centrex lines to the channel banks, I believe.

Best to check the specs of the actual phones, around here some of them are norstar phones that I am pretty sure are some sort of isdn (bri) thing rather than being a pure analog device. Better still take one of them and plug it in a raw analog line someplace and see what you get.


I always advocate throwing out old analog phones as they will be a pain, but understand if you absolutely cannot. Just keep in mind you can get a decent VoIP phone for $60 that is very likely to be nicer than what they have now and do much more.
