[Asterisk-Users] 4+ Port FXS Analog Device

[Waldo Rubinstein]

I agree with you as well as with Daniel Nystron (from previous post).  
However, putting a T1 card and a cheap channel bank is still somewhat  
expensive, if you think about it. The Sipura SPA-2002 costs about $70  
and that's 2 ports, which means $35/port. That's even better than $84/ 
port. I'm just asking to see if there is a more cost-effective way of  
deploying that many ports and not having to get a bunch of SPA-2002s.
