I think there is more to consider.
One or two fat machines in the basement forr connecting to the PSTN is
very fine.
But are all the people allready using voip handsets, or old fashioned
analoge handsets? If so, you need quite a large number of channelbanks.
You speak of 300/1500 concurrent phone calls? If so how many handsets
are you considering?
Is the lan capable of handling this load?
Is the lan 100% dedicated for voip, or are there a bunch of
servers/workstations also using this lan?

Interesting project....
