I did this with our Norstar MICS before I went to PRI (which makes it much easier) -- I had a TDM400 with FXS ports and hooked them into a couple of extra 'trunk' lines on the Norstar. What I did then was to program the speed dials such that the speed dial to our sister office picked up a specific set of trunk lines (lines 1-8 were in a group and connected to Bell, lines 9-12 were in a second group and went to the TDM card). Asterisk could then take the call and route it to the other Asterisk box, which was wired the same way. The Norstar system would simply see a line in the second trunk ring, and it would do whatever it was programmed to do (in our case, go to reception). It was seamless to the users and worked pretty good. -A.
