He mentioned that he needed to have 400 phones. That makes for a lot of Astribanks, and I dare say probably more bandwidth than can reasonably be expected to push through a USB bus.

While the idea is good, if I were building the solution, I would be looking at a pair of the Sangoma 8 port T1 cards w/ external channel banks.
