an Adtran Atlas 500 for this job (not for * but for our Mitel ICP 3300) you can
aggregate FXO to T1 / PRI or any which way you want. It's a killer box and very
easy to work with. Adtran support is, in a word, phenomenal. Very pricey,
but ebay has some 800 models:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[Asterisk-Users] Channel Banks<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT size=2>OK, I'm having some trouble finding which equipment I need....
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>What I'd like to do is take about a dozen incoming analog
lines and bring them into an * server. Of course one is going to have a
hard time fitting a dozen X100P cards in a case, so an alternative would be a
channel bank and a T100P in the * server. Now here's where my confusion
comes in. I _think_ I need a channel bank that has a T1 interface on one
side (to go to the * server), and FXO interfaces on the other (to accept the
incoming analog lines from the telco)? And are there suggestions out
there as to which channel banks one should select for this sort of
deployment?</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
