Yes, If you can get trunkside CT-1's I would suggest it. If not line
side CT-1's will work well from my own experience. You can then just
plug the jack into your PM'3 and usually with an AMI and D4 signaling
on your PM3 your up and running. Also, if they are going to give
you lineside via a channel bank at the CO request they DO NOT use
AT&T FXS cards in the channel unit.
