[Asterisk-Users] Minimum budget question ...

[tim.mcqueen at qualisys.biz]

That reminds me, Cisco has a new device out, the IAD2430 that has T1
ports VWIC, and FXS ports.  It will proably cost a bundle, though.
Looks like the IAD2432 will handle 24 analog ports, up to two Data T1s
and a voice T1 using the VWIC port.  Supports SIP and MGCP.

	The Cisco 242x (20 or 21), has a 24 port analog interface that
supports 16
	FXS and 8 FXO.  I've delpoyed hundreds of these IAD's signaling
with MGCP.
	Not sure if it supports SIP yet.  Hope this helps...
