I am going to have to be more specific, I see...

We have the ISDN lines incoming into little boxes on the wall (BT ISDN 2e) 
from where they are plugged into existing ISDN PBX. The ISDN2e boxes have 2 ports,
but 1 of each are connected to the ISDN PBX.

There is nothing else connected to the ISDN2e boxes, no phones connect to these
lines 'directly'.
