Well, Bell Canada does presently have customers who are connected to
the outside with T1 lines from their PBX to the CO. Some PBX's are
signalled by tone, there is no real reason that the CO should insist
upon digipulse signalling, except age of equipment.
BTW, CENTREX is not a PBX service. It is a PBX lookalike service that is
run on the CO exchange and run very tightly by the local telephone
company. Infact, in previous postings people have posted articles on
residential CENTREX groups of two phones or more that are available in
some areas. Why you would want to put 2 phones on CENTREX is beyond me
however:-).
