I second that emotion -- I bought a t100p and a pair (just in case 1 
failed) of Adtran 750 channel banks off ebay.

I did a sales presentation last week. My demo kit consisted of a 1u 
server, a channel bank, a breakout box, and 8 $10 phones from RadioShack. 
I set up everything on the customer's conference room table. The telco 
guys kept asking where the rest of the system was :)

Everybody in the meeting had a phone so there was no question in any 
decision maker's minds that the system would work. Running "top" and 
showing that a conference with 8 members only consumed 1/2 of 1% of the 
cpu convinced them that the system would scale well.
