What kind of CO lines does your current setup use? Standard pots lines, 
cahnneliazed (non-isdn) T1 with rbs, isdn bri, tie-lines or something 
else?

A T1 PRI card will give you 23 lines between the panasonic KX-TD1232 and
Asterisk, an E1 PRI card will give you 30 lines. 

BRI or PRI is really the best way of interconnecting Asterisk and the pbx. 
A new PRI card should cost about $1000-$2000. Make sure you get a PRI T1 
card and not a non-isdn T1 card.

If the KX-TD1232 uses BRI CO lines they can be used instead. It may be 
hard to obtain BRI cards in the USA.
