I'm always hesitant to reply to topic like this in this forum, but I will suggest, no. <br>
<br>
ISDN and POTS (plain old telephone) did go through the phone switch. So connecting to a specific endpoint made sense. <br>

Perhaps what you are wanting to do could be addressed as a router-to-router VPN instead. Which is coloring inside the lines for regular DSL. <br>
