I've done the exact same thing.
We had a 23-channel PRI that a client was using for voice, but had a 
small IVR for their banking application that had direct analog lines 
pointed to it.
I ordered an Adtran Total Access 750 and an additional T1 (T100P) card. 
The TA750 had 24 analog lines, with one T1 interface.
The asterisk server had 2 T100Ps one card was for the PRI, the second 
was a cross-over to the Adtran 750. Works great, don't see why it 
wouldn't work for you in the same method you are talking about for a 
modem pool.
