Jennifer,

We have a similar setup with some remote locations with the exception that
the remotes are using 'key system' telephone equipment.  We are using Micom
Netrunners and doing voice over frame relay on our T1 line.  The HP3000 is
running over this line along with NT traffic.  This has been working very
well for the last 9 months.

I know this is a brief over view of what you can do, if you would like more
detail you can e-mail direct or call me and we can discuss this in more
detail.
