<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, you have several options. A T100P and a
device such as a Adtran Altlas or simpler Channel bank. But since at this time
as you point out Digium only has 1 FXO port per PCI slot(FYI I hear they
are working on a 4 port per PCI slot). The other options are MediaTrix,
VegaStream, or other devices like them. They are essentially FXO to SIP over
Ethernet devices and although I really like the Digium T100P(It is
solid) for what you are trying to accomplish I think card and
channel bank may not be the most elegant solution.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>OK, I'm having some trouble finding which equipment I need....
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>What I'd like to do is take about a dozen incoming analog
lines and bring them into an * server. Of course one is going to have a
hard time fitting a dozen X100P cards in a case, so an alternative would be a
channel bank and a T100P in the * server. Now here's where my confusion
comes in. I _think_ I need a channel bank that has a T1 interface on one
side (to go to the * server), and FXO interfaces on the other (to accept the
incoming analog lines from the telco)? And are there suggestions out
there as to which channel banks one should select for this sort of
deployment?</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
