i don't think it's the only way. there is no logical difference between
Zap/g0 (includes channel 1-15 of pri) than Zap/g0 (includes bri1-1 and bri1-2
to bri4-1 and bri4-2 if using bristuff) or NTPorts (includes port1,2,3,4 using
mISDN)

keep in mind, the cheapest FXS is a port ATA
but if call-status is a must, and more than 8 channels, go for PRI
