I am looking for a small device with four FXO and one WAN connection. 
Simple, so that the cleaning woman can make a hardware reset if 
necessary. This device should be connnected to my Asterisk box. The box 
will be used in areas where DIDs are not available yet, and where you 
not even can make ads for it ;-(
It should be cheap, and it should connect either with SIP or IAX.
No FXS is needed !!!
