  I don't see how that matters.  What I'm concerned about are the
telephones and wiring on the private side of our premises telephone
system.  Connecting to the PSTN is a solved problem.

  But anyway, to answer your question: POTS.  Analog copper dialtones.
 They go into LS/DS (Loop Start/Disconnect Supervision) cards on the
Norstar MICS.

  Not easily.  The Norstar MICS, like just about every other premises
telephone system ever made, uses proprietary signaling and encoding
internally.  The Nortel upgrade path is the BCM, which replaces the
MICS core with an IP-based system, which also works with the Norstar
telephones and expansion modules.
