Or have a look at the Lucent APX8100 box for some added carrier class
humpf. Supports more than 8000 DS0's (channels) and does transcoding in
hardware DSP's so well suited to handle your 5000 concurrent calls and
you don't need a stack of them like with the Cisco 5850.

Like Rob I'd love to sell this to you but I doubt Lucent would even pick
up the phone to answer my "how to become a VAR" enquiry. Best contact
them directly :)
