That's what I think it is. (I ought to make it clear here that I'm basing this
solely on the picture and description of it on the web site you referenced).

I think that you've just got a normal ISDN setup with 3 subscriber numbers.
Inside the unit that they fix on your wall, they include two d-a converter
units, which they set up to use two of those 3 subscriber numbers. You should
be able to prevent them from configuring the d-a converters, if you ask
nicely. Then you'll just have a 'normal' ISDN installation with 3 numbers,
which which you can do as you please.
In fact, I think that multiple devices can have the chance to answer a single
call - if you just don't pick up (or don't plug in) the phone on the analogue
port, an ISDN phone or other device can still answer the calls that are
arriving for it.
