I am not an expert on what is legit.   A stand alone PBX - no PSTN
connection from *any* point in the VoIP network would be fine.  A

Enterux (www.enterux.com) told me clearly no PSTN hooks on the VoIP
network.

You have a point re: incoming calls only in this case  but .... it is
better to get an official approval.
