[Asterisk-Users] pc

[Christopher Dobbs]

I know that this has been replied to, but, where I work, We use the 
Carrier Access Group Adit 600 Channel banks.
It supports two T1's and my boss tells me that we can get the for about 
400-800 dollars.

They use 8 port c\expansion cards, so you can three groups of ports, say 
16 FXS (2x FXS) and 8 FXO ports (1x FXO).

These units are programmed using a crossover cable and a serial port.

They have a lot of other features that I don't know how to use, but they 
work grate for us.

I hope this helps.
