[Asterisk-Users] so many FXS ports :)

[Bryce Chidester]

if you're looking for a less expensive, cinch to configure channel  
bank, I would look at the Rhino Channel Bank (http:// 
www.channelbanks.com). I must admit that I work for them, but I  
guarantee Asterisk compatibility and good, personal technical support  
should you need it.
