Single PSU only. It is not _that_ critical. Actually, it is a very small
1U machine so it does not have a dual PSU option. It does fit nicely in
the telecom rack though. :-)

We use a pbx connected via an E1 PRI isdn as a front end, no channel bank. 
In your case you most certainly want to have both connections on the same 
TE405P card. The TE405P can bridge calls internally, leading to a very low 
lateny and no jitter or timing problems at all.

Make sure the Adit handles the same speech encoding (Alaw or mulaw) as 
your telco uses. If they are different asterisk can not bridge on the 
card.
