IIRC KXTD 1232 is a 12 public, 32 inside access PBX (up to 24 system and
8 pots for faxes or sth like that).
It uses 6 BRI to access PTSN lines so you have to use some multi-port
BRI (active and powered) card.

or

The latter costs:
BN8S0 8 Port S0 Card (TE/NT) + - Power Bundles BN Power
984,84EUR [incl. VAT] 849,00EUR [excl.VAT]

This is not very cost-effective solution, and in most cases you have to
use chan_misdn or other not-so-very-popular channel driver.

Why you use plain PBX when you could do as simple as: one two/four span
E1/T1 card, one port connected to Telco, second (3rd,4rd) connected to
channel bank ?


Btw: you could have a 4 times E1 in one PCI card (brand new) for less 
than a 650 USD and some Zhone CB from ebay around 120-150 USD (not very 
much used, i'm using it by my self).
