Getting the lines delivered over a PRI would eliminate the need for the
channel bank for FXO ports.  If you want to use non-VoIP phones, you
still need some way to deal with FXS ports.  But I think you intended to
use soft phones internally so that wouldn't be a problem for you.  You
would just plug the E1 into the E100P and be done with it.
