Well, not quite PRI nor quite what you're describing, but would SS7 
be what you're after?

Are you asking for a PRI with no D-Channel?  Or a group of PRI's that 
share a single D-Channel?  If the former, I'm uncertain.  If the 
latter, that's called NFAS (Non-Facility Associated Switching) and 
I'd love to see Asterisk support NFAS, for both immediate reasons 
(same-card and multi-card spanning NFAS groups) and future reasons 
(my hopes that someone will come up with a channelized DS-3 driver 
for Zap PRI interfaces, which would almost certainly require NFAS.)
