[asterisk-users] 1000 analogue lines with asterisk

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

That would be the expensive route.  The inexpensive route would be to 
buy FXS ethernet gateways, like this: 
http://www.voipsupply.com/grandstream-gxw4248.  You could then get by 
with a single reasonably sized asterisk box (probably two setup as HA) 
and no need for expensive cards or complex channel bank setup.  We have 
done many hotels this way with great results.
