56K *REQUIRES* a digital connection.
Sure, you could buy a modem rack that takes BRI, PRI, or chanT1 and plug
that into a PM-2. But you still have the complications of cabling and
not having the modems in one managable chassis. And the bottle neck of
the async loop. And more space used. And more power draw and heat.
In the end going to a unified chassis is the best move. And if you have
PM-2s now, there is the trade in deal.

You can't, period. You must have digital modems on you end. No way
around that.
