ATAs are price-competitive when you are connecting a couple of analogue 
phones, but they quickly lose their advantage if you want to use many analogue 
phones.

The cheapest way to achieve what you want to achieve is to build an Asterisk 
box yourself, put in a Digium or Sangoma card and put as many FXS modules on 
the board as you require. You can usually find cards which accept daughter 
boards which mean you can even install additional FXS modules on the same card.
