[Asterisk-Users] What setup

[Cory Andrews]

John - You might consider getting a T1 and "splitting" it using some of the 
pipe for your voice traffic and some for your data traffic.  You can set up 
a VLAN on your internal network for your phones if you want to migrate to 
SIP phones and Asterisk, or you could implement a channel bank out to your 
existing analog handsets.
