[asterisk-biz] 1 T1, 1 Asterisk PBX, and 1 HylaFax system.

[Jared Geiger]

Also look at an Adtran Atlas 550. You have your one Network PRI/T1 from the
telco to one port and then you put in a quad T1 user interface module. Then
you can route your DIDs to whichever server they are destined to inside the
Adtran's CLI Menu driven interface. It is very simple to work with. if you
go to Adtran's website you can find detailed instructions on how to setup an
oversubscribed PRI with an Atlas 550.

Plus they are inexpensive on ebay...
