      Agree with 24 port being the max for a single device.&nbsp; In that
      vein I just deployed a handful of Grandstream 24 port FXS devices
      that seem to be working well at a decent price point.&nbsp; I don't
      normally recommend Grandstream for anything, and in the past we
      have only deployed Audiocodes for this kind of task, but the
      Grandstream was half the price...<br>

        just talking in general terms here I have found this sort of
        hardware is not the most reliable, and the more physical devices
        you spread it across the more fault tolerant you are of a single
        fault taking down a big chunk of your users.<br>
        <br>
        I wouldn't go more than a 24port device and for 100 users I
        would get 5 or 6 of them depending on the exact numbers and have
        one as a hot spare that can just be swapped in quickly if one of
        the others dies.<br>
        <br>
        my analog stuff is all on spaxxxx or pap2t right now and I find
        that working out better for me than T1 card and channel bank was
        in the past, but the cabling is not as neat and tidy. Its a lot
        easier pill to swallow when 2 extensions die than 24 for me.<br>
