Citel makes a box:

If you're converting from Definity, Norstar, p-phone (Nortel Centrex),
Meridian, or NEC, a google search found them for under $500 (for 24
ports):

I've not used the Citel product, but have heard good things about them.

Depending on what it is, you could also just leave the existing switch
in place and connect with a PRI interface--let your PBX think the
asterisk box is the telco.
