Why not get one of the dev packages from Digium. A CB with 8 FXO, and 16 FXS and the T1 card. This does stop the incoming lines at 8 for now, but should work for you until you are ready to go for a PRI. The hardware shouldn't depreciate in value much in that time frame. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
