[Asterisk-Users] so many FXS ports :)

[Carlos]

You can always go with like a mediatrix 1124 - 24-port FXS access device
configuration is a nightmare with these things they make you use the
horrible app that they make you install.  And you don't even get the
software free to be able to $2500 device that you just bought.  Anyways I
have 2 of these devices and am very un happy with them ended switching them
out with asterisk with a t1 and a channel bank and it works perfect.

The idea is that the channel bank breaks a T1/E1/J1 in to channels.
There are newer channel type devices that are just gateways. I am sure there
are benefits of doing it each way.
