<P><FONT SIZE=2>You might want to take a look on the Wiki pages for VoIP, in particular:</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Offhand at our site we're trying to set up something similar (although a little larger, 10 FXO lines, but no requirement to pick which line the call goes out... our 10 lines are all overlines....). Our Vegastream 50 FXO shipped yesterday (or perhaps this morning), so we should be getting it in a day or two. (BTW: I'm in Canada)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>There's been rumours posted to this list that Digium is coming out with a higher-density FXO card, and Woody mentioned a Voicetronix Openline12, which appears to be a 12-port FXO card. And I believe that Intel/Dialogic puts out some multiport FXS/FXO cards...</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I've been looking around for a small external sip fxo gateway, sending</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> emails to possible vendors, etc, and can not seem to come up </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> with anything</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> that fits. Suggestions anyone? (No channel bank & T1 card </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> suggestions, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> please. I've also just completed an eval of the Mediatrix 1204 which</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> does not support the requirements.)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> The market between two fxo pstn lines (pair of x100p's) and something</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> around four to six lines seems to be lacking, or I'm looking in the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> wrong search engine (or something). I fully understand the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> economics of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> when a channel bank and T1 card becomes cost effective, including the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> eBay costs (and risks), etc. I've also heard the comments for months </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> now that Digium is/will be selling something real-soon-now.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Specifically, I'd like to use a 4-port fxo sip gateway </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> capable of supporting</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> four US pstn analog lines, CallerID, Touchtone, loop style </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> supervision,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> and have the capability for asterisk to direct an outbound call to a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> specific port on that gateway. I "think" that implies "each" port must</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> execute a sip register command successfully. It's also </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> expected to accept </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> incoming pstn calls directing those to a single asterisk. (I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> don't care </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> about an IP dialtone, nat, etc, just a plain-jane two-way sip </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> gateway.)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> If anyone is designing such a box and need professional eval, we can </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> certainly work with you privately (off list to radamson @ </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> routers dot com)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to accomidate those needs.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Anyone seen such a beast at a reasonable price?</FONT>
