Not so sure that makes a lot of difference since the majority of sip products being sold today aren't compliant either. > >The market between two fxo pstn lines (pair of x100p's) and something > >around four to six lines seems to be lacking, or I'm looking in the > >wrong search engine (or something).

[SIP] exten => _9.,1,SETCIDNUM(1111) exten => _9.,2,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] exten => _8.,1,SETCIDNUM(2222) exten => _8.,1,Dial,SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] And, within the 1204 using its filter/route entry to send all calls from "1111" to port 1, etc? Seems like an acceptable approach since there really isn't a lot on the market to address the 3-to-8 pstn line needs. > The closest thing to your requirements that I am working with is an > Audiocodes MP-104 or larger > gateway.

(Somewhere over 8 lines I'm sure most businesses can afford a PRIs, T1s, Channel banks, etc, approach.) Registering 8 sip lines isn't THAT big of a deal, and much over that would likely migrate to zap channels anyway. > Imagine a bunch of 24-port FXO gateways all registering at once! Really no different then expecting a bunch of sip phones to register. What's the real difference between 50 sip phones and 8 sip-registering g/w lines?
