done this on cisco routers with voice interfaces - FXO in other countries
back to a PBX in London

must be LAN to voice interfaces around - cisco ATAs spring to mind.

if all you want is a phone at 1 end, then you might as well use an IP
phone - signalling and IP encap should be the same.

We had to analog each end so that the london switch would do all the call
barring etc - present calls on ISDN and some kit assumes all that is done at
the 1st hop into digital domain.
