[Asterisk-Users] 8 lines - best approach

[Jonathan Moore]

I have a similar setup currently with 7 incomming lines. We purchased an Adit
600 CB from Suntel data with 1 8 port fxo and 1 8 port fxs for $800. T100P for
about $500. Cost is of course relative to the money you will save on line
charges :-).
