If you're doing a test with full assistance from the target, get a list of telcom providers from them, and an executed approval letter to get the Customer Service Records (CSRs) from each telcom provider. This will list all the telcom lines, both those that may terminate on a PBX, and all those old analog lines that everyone has forgotten about, but that may terminate on service modems for who knows what equipment. You may be surprised by what gets found.
