I know you may be stuck with them, but you could just as easily plug in a 
Digium/Sangoma/Rhino T1/E1 card (or Xorcom channel bank?) into your 
asterisk box and you would be able to accomplish the same thing, but in 
IMO a much more asterisk-friendly way.

Can't help you with the Cisco config... you will need to post a lot more 
details about your asterisk config if you want help on that side.
