The term "PABX" is used more loosely than it should be.  Judging by:

  http://www.nswcomms.com.au/infohybr.html

your system uses standard POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines and
behaves to the network like two ordinary telephones.

This makes it, like "Commander" systems, a "key system" - not a PABX.

PABXs have strange arrangements on the lines to the exchange - quite
unlike the arrangements for a POTS phone or key system.  

I am no expert, but I imagine that your system only uses the standard
facilities of a POTS service, so it should work with ADSL on one of its
lines.   Try contacting the supplier to find out what requirements it
makes of the lines.
