</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> Thanks Chris!!</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> Running copper does not seem logical to me
either. The last </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> time I checked</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> (Sept03), the cost of 8 lines in a T1 was almost double the
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> cost of split</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
lines.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> I have been
considering NuFone, and have investigated it. We </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>
have also been</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> looking for a decent IP based
business phone, but I'll post a separate</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> question
for that :)</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> I have
three businesses all with the same problem. A decent </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>> T1 price would</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> be the best, so I
could centralize everything and only </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> outsource
the long</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> distance side.</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> I'm in Vancouver, BC Canada with the
"Telus Inc" monopoly.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> What range of prices do
most American telco's charge for a T1??</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> The price (in C$) I was quoted was $450/m plus
$27/m per </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> voice channel with</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> zero features. Plus there was a $1200 setup fee.</FONT> <BR><FONT

</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> First get rid of those 8 analog
lines. then you'l have</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> two options:</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> 1) Have the local phone
company provide you with a T1 line</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> that you can
plug directly into the Digium card. After all</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> it seems silly for ther phone company to split out the
lines</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> to 8 pairs runs 16 coppr wires only to have
you re-combine</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> them.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> 2) Get 8 DID numbers from a VOIP provider like
NuFone or</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> Iconnect and have all your incomming
calls come in over</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> your Internet link. Now
yu've got zero hardawre, except for</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> the
PC.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> I suppose you
would want local extensions... Depending on</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
the numbr you might want a channel bank and anlog desk phones</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> or go with all IP Phones</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
