As we outgrow our KX-T1232, we are looking for a new PBX.  Of course
we want all the normal PBX features like ARS and DID; what we want
that is a bit unusual is the ability to have station lines that are
ground start or at least provide a CPC signal (a momentary open) when
the calling party hangs up.

The only switch that I have personally witnessed this on was a NEC
NEAX 2400.  The analog ports on the NEC received CPC.  However, a
friend reports that he checked another NEAX 2400 and found that not to
be the case.  Perhaps there are several varieties of analog station
cards.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone that knows of a switch that does
what we want.  Thanks...
