[Asterisk-Users] Best way to connect asterisk to an traditional PBX

[Mark Phillips]

Sounds to me like your phone vendor is talking out of his arse.

You should be able to place a crossover cable between your * box and 
your pbx. They both think the other is a phone company.

I've done this with Avaya Definity G3's a few times now and it works fine.
