I'm also interested, but not from an I-can-buy-a-channel-bank-cheeper-
then-you-can perspective.

Rather, an ethernet channel bank would make it very easy to pick up
a flexible number of pstn-fxo lines at remote locations where I already
have Internet presence. I don't need any T1 cards to extend the reach
into small towns and cities. :)
