Look at this brand new failover device:

I've done a fair amount of research and this one is easier, cheaper,
more robust and  more flexible than other solutions I've looked into. 
I'm getting one in a few days.  

I talked about it a little bit yesterday on the VoIP users conference.

My ramble about about Redfone and Rhino is about three fifths of the way
through the recording.  It's a little winded, but I was speaking
top-of-mind.  You can the Rhino product for T1/E1/BRI or ANALOG trunks. 
There are several good solutions for PRI, including the redfone bridge:

The device from Rhino is in my opinion is a HUGE no-brainer for BRI or
Analog failover scenarios
