What connectivity do you currently use for the KX-TDA600?  E1, T1, POTS, 
BRI?

Others have suggested a SIP to E1/T1 gateway, which would let you skip 
the asterisk box, if you don't have other uses for it.

Another option is to use a PCI-E E1/T1 interface card in the asterisk 
box, especially if you already have an E1 or T1 interface in the 
KX-TDA600. I personally don't like buying smaller then a dual T1/E1 
card, as the price difference between a dual and a single is so small.  
If the KX-TDA600 is set-up for Analog/POTS, you can use a channel bank 
on the second T1/E1 port, and feed POTS into the KX-TDA600.

For a small installation that wanted to keep their Nortel Key System, 
and their Telco really wanted to provide a PRI instead of POTS (the 
Nortel could only take pots), we used a dual T1 PCI card in an asterisk 
box, ran PRI on the Telco interface, an ADIT 600 channel bank on the 
second interface, and handed 4 POTS lines to the Nortel Key System.

The key is to give your self the most flexibility to change later, and 
preserve your existing investment.
