We have succesfully integrated a Bogen system and a Catalyst FXS module. The Bogen system has three parts:

PCM TIM

PCM CPU

PCM ZPM

As an added bonus the system has a nightringer input where we redirect the company's main number afterhours (no receptionist). The DN for the nightringer is in a pickup group and anyone left in the office can choose to pickup the call from their phone.

It is really Telephony 101.

We have used Valcom interfaces to connect to a variety of overhead paging systems. The key is matching the required input of the paging system with the output from AVVID - FXO or FXS. Valcom makes some very nice units that will go between either type of port before sending the output to the amplifier on the paging system.

The mentioned Bogen components will do the same job.
