It depends on what you mean by "analog lines."  If you mean "will it 
work with calls that come into Asterisk over analog phone lines" then 
the answer is yes--the phones don't know or care how the phone call 
made its way into Asterisk.  If you mean "can I plug the Polycom 
IP500/600 into a regular analog phone jack" then the answer is no--they 
plug into an Ethernet jack, not an analog phone jack.
