Yeah, but unless you buy unsupported used stuff, you are talking
somewhere around $2500 - 3000. If you are much over 8 FXO's, you should
probably just use a PRI.

Personally, I'd like to see a modular multi-port (6 to 8) IAXy using the
same modules that work on the TDM4xx. I hate internal cards, and it
would make Asterisk MUCH more portable. No driver or interrupt issues.
