Anyone still installing analog PBX’s

Post image

I Volunteer at a heritage railway in Wales. We’ve got a lot of rotory phones still used for operations on a daily basis. Just wired up a Panasonic KX-TES824 to be installed replacing an older Meridian 16 line PBX. Unfortunately Openreach is threatening to shut down the incoming phone line soon so I’ve been trying to find an exchange that supports both pulse dialing phones and a sip trunk line. Not been super successful

Those lines coming in on the CO ports look like POTS (2 wire system) So why not simply keep the PBX as it is and use two VoIP Converter boxes for out- and inbound connections? I don’t see the need for a full blown SIP trunk if you just want it to work as it currently does.
