For a small install it wouldn't, but with GSM audio compression and IAX2
trunking you could combine 2-4 E1s of calls into a E1 data line that
could be terminated with a Cisco router. If you are charged more for a
E1 circuit that leaves the premisis, then you could make the charge
lower by aggrigating it into IAX before leaving the telco. Granted that
also assumes that the cost of the colo space is lower than the multiple
lines out to your site.
