Have a look at Patton or Audiocodes. Both solid solutions although
Audiocodes has a bit of a reputation when it comes to configuring it.

I have a 2nd vote for AudoCodes as well. We use Mediant 1000's (combo FXS, FXO, PRI, T1/E1) and Mediant 2000's (digital links only) boxes here. They can be a bear to set up as they try to please everyone for everything in various setups. They have a ton of config options, but once they are up and running, they are rock solid. I mean ROCK solid. The price point may drive you away though. Case in point, we needed to do verification on a fully equipped M1K (Mediant 1000) to certify it to work with our product. The boxes we ordered have a PRI/T1 module, FXS, FXO Loop Start, FXO Ground Start, and dual power supplies. As ordered the boxes were somewhere in the neighbourhood of $7000 each. </PRE><PRE style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">We use AudioCodes exclusively with our product, MP-11x's, M2K's & M1K's. So I'm quite used to them, but for a newbie they are VERY scary!</PRE><PRE style="WORD-WRAP: break-word"> </PRE></DIV></BODY></HTML>
