I'm assuming it's not really a pbx - but a "key" system, so yes, it probably would work.
But all they really do is handle multiple incoming phone lines.
You put the multiple lines in a hunt group so people calling you dial one number, if it's busy it rings on the next open line.
But most homes have only two pairs of wire running to them from the street. Meaning you can have up to two incoming lines. You'd need to have them run more wire to your house to get more lines (and pay for those lines of course!).
You have to have the matching desk set phones with the system, regular phones won't work. Those sets have a lot of features, you can transfer calls between phones, join others in a conference call etc.
But, most of those sets have to have more than the usual single pair wire to operate.
They'll need at least two pairs, sometimes three or four.
So most likely you'd also have to rewire each phone location in you house.
On top of all that, you have to program the system.
There are MANY options that need to be set. These tend to be very flexible business systems - so there are many options that need to be set that you're probably not going to understand if you don't do this kind of work for a living.
so -
Yes it'll work - but only for somebody who really needs it and knows what they're doing with it.
If you really want more than one phone line, but can live with just two - there are plenty of small systems that do that well. Those work with your current wiring, aren't all that expensive, and are meant more for a small office, or personal use - so the programming tends to be significantly easier.
