Sorry to nitpick but a PRI is NOT a data/voice integrated T1.  A PRI  
is a T1 with one channel (normally the last) used for call signalling.
If the T1 from the carrier is split into two pieces (data & voice) at  
your office and the hand off to Asterisk is a T1 then it is not a  
channel bank.  A channel bank splits a T1 into 1-24 DS0 voice  
channels.  If your interface with Asterisk is a T1 you should  
probably look at getting one of the newer Digium cards with the add- 
on hardware echo canceller.
