Big VoIP switches<BR><BR><BR>> We're looking to price some massive VoIP
switches for our statewide<BR>> network. Something that can
handle anywhere between 100 and 1000 T1s <BR>> (actual T1
circuits).<BR>><BR>> Anyone familiar with hardware that will do that
many T1s reliably?<BR>> Perhaps collections of hardware that will work
harmoniously....<BR>><BR>><BR>> N.<BR>><BR>>
