And the reverse is possible too, if you buy 2 E100 cards, you can plug your old
PABX into the Asterisk server and set up with very minimal config so each proprietry
handset can be used with Asterisk. Of course you only get 30 simultaneous
connections between the Asterisk and the old PABX per E1

If you are going this route, you should consider a TE410P which will give you
future options of T1 channel banks, extra E1 lines etc.
