I think you will have good luck.  Just make sure you use no echo can 
when bridged.  Also, you will need a T1 Crossover cable. 

I have used channel banks quite a bit but never for the amount of faxing 
you are looking at.  Maybe someone has better input but I would 
certainly try it myself and feel good about it going in.

I bought a 24 port FXS TSU 600 for $200 used on Ebay for the lab, so you 
may want to go the Used route before buying something new.

Thanks,
Steve
