   I'm not an expert in this area, (although I work in Easynet
systems this bit isn't in my remit), but AFAIK the 'neat' solution
would be to get a ISDN30 (partly populated) into your building, and
plug it into kit from either Lucent (who took over Ascend), Cisco
or 3Com.   

   Our preference is for Lucent, but that may nowadays be mostly
for keeping the same system everywhere for us.

   Doing the above means that apart from the ISDN presentation box
you just have one extra piece of kit.

   If you need to use existing lines then it starts getting messy,
depending on how those lines are presented.
