I never really considered one. I've never used one for that matter. This 
system is really only a testbed. If it works out, then in 6 months to a 
year we'll put asterisk in main site and all the phones in this location 
will slave off that system.

But, I went to atacomm.com and tried to spec out a channel bank solution:

Rhino Chasis: $750
2 4port FXO cards: $599
TE110P: $499
Echo canceler: ????
Total: $1848

A TDP2400 8 FXO with echo can module: $1093

Mine didn't come out cheaper, what kind of equipment do you recommend?

Thanks for the suggestions.
