- Sure, this is exactly what an NT2 does. Except there need not be exactly
- 23 home lines - our PABX has a 30B+D (Europe, you know) T but 300 S-lines
- with 2B+D. (Well, actually we have 300 TAs to old analog phones right
- now, but the TAs have S interfaces so they can be replaced with true
- TE1s as the price of digital phones drop.)
-
- If I were living next to my office, there would be no principal difference
- between my office and home phones. There is a problem of maximum cable
- lengths etc., but those are solved for PABXs of large corporations and
- distributed campuses, like ours. It might as well be extended to private
- homes.
-
- Of course only 30 of the 300 can simultaneously get an external B-channel.
- Notice that in your "23 individual homes", each home can occupy *one* B
- channel - if any of them occupy both channels provided, the last one(s)
- of the 23 would fail in allocating a B. Also, each of the 23 homes may
- in principle use 1/4 of the capacity of the D channel of the 23B+D, so
- four homes may block all others from setting up a connection -- even if
- there are free Bs. (In practice they won't ever get close to using the
- full 16 Kbit D.) But that is the way PBXs work, even in analog systems.
