The MTAs they sell use SIP.  Their softphone uses IAX1.

They "support" connecting via equipment/software purchased through them.
You are on your own, when connecting your own Asterisk implementation to
their network.

They (atleast under SIP) use DTMF inband detection for DTMF after initial
call setup.  They also use g729.  This means that while someone is talking
you will hear a DTMF every once in a while.  Also, when trying to get through
DTMF menus is difficult.  You get missed or double digits.
