X2 is not analog... is an ibrid form... it runs on digital lines until it 
reach the last telephone exchange that make tha D/a conversion.. ad the X2 
clients with a NUMERIC FUNCTION can decode the signal...im not so good in 
english to explain this... sorry for my english...
the X2 can run only on DIGITAL server and X2 client have to do a NUMERIC 
"scrambler"...
I repeat... sory for mi INGLIS! ;)
