Actually, you
can buy a gateway that has digital PBX ports on one side,
and a SIP UA
through an ethernet connector on the other side.
The hitch is
that the box only works with a limited set of PBX types.
You can also
get a board that provides emulation for the PBX phones
that will
plug into a PC. It has multiple ports per board. You
then
have to
interface this to a SIP UA, which is not very complex for
basic call,
but can be quite complex if you want to emulate all the
features the
phone can do. The advantage of the box is that it
does this
(although it's a new box, so the feature set is not
complete
yet).

Subject: [Sip-implementors] SIP phone to PBX connectionHi, my organization uses a digital PBX. I recently bought some SIP phones and I want to convince my team to use these phones instead of the current phones.
However, to do this, I must be able to allow the SIP phone uses to dial other people in the organization thru the PBX. Now, I doubt I can work with the MIS folks here.
So, my question is this:
Is it possible for me to buy and cheap hardware that I can connect to my PC which can directly provide a connection to my digital PBX port ? If so, then I can run a SIP server on my PC that can then forward non SIP calls to this line and it can use the PBX to make these calls.
Thanks
