[Asterisk-Users] Minimum budget question ...

[tim.mcqueen at qualisys.biz]

Ah, I'm wrong.  It only the 2432 only supports data WICs and the 4 port
FXO VWIC.  The IAD2431 supports digital voice, though.

	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...
