41 Sipura ATA's? Wow. that's a lot.. Have you thought about using 
channel banks or the Mediatrix product? Of course, if this is 1 ata per 
room, that's a different story. Just thinking that you could install the 
mediatrix in the building's closets and utilize the existing POTs cabling..
Just a thought.. 41 ATAs might be a pain to manage unless you are setup 
and prepared for that..
