A definite requirement for any of the 56K modems is that the lines come in either over channelized T1/E1 or PRI. It's part of how they make the Magick work. There is no workaround. We're in the middle of moving to new modem banks, and even people without X2/Kflex modems are much happier dialing in to the new system, as it gives more consistent connections at higher speeds...
