You choose how much lines - from 1 to 30 - go to the primary. Price is according to number of channels, but signalling is primary!
Check out at your telco if this is not possible out there (I believe it should)

I'm looking into implementing an * solution and I'm expecting to
require 4
incoming FXO lines. Based on my reading of the mailing list archives
and
what I read on the Digium web site, I don't think that this can be
achieved
with X100P cards as it doesn't seem to be practical to have more than
3
X100P cards at the time (IRQs is the main problem I think). At four
FXO
ports, I can't quite justify something like a full T1 on a monthly
basis.
But, since I've never ordered one, I'm thinking that it's a "all or
nothing"
deal (i.e.: I can't order a T1 and pay for only 4 voice channels).
It would
seem that the best I can do is a 3x8 configuration according to the information on this page
The Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateway sort of works with asterisk in the US,
but
have had a few issues with CallerID being recognized when the four
pstn
lines have different ring cadence (at least I believe its a cadence
issue).
Other then that, there seems to be a significant market opportunity
for
anyone that can produce a reliable 4-port device.
A goggle search for channel banks turned up www.nextag.com with
samples such
as this: Adtran TA750 Chassis w/psu ac adapter $900 Adtran Quad FXO card: $230 Adtran TA750 w/12 FXS ports: $1250 Adtran TA750 w/FT1, 20 FXS: $1900
However, I don't consider those prices cost effective for four ports
after
adding in the digium T1 card, etc.
I'm interested in a 4-port as well if anyone knows of something.
See: http://www.welltech.com.tw/
No yet tested, but waiting my first samples next week. Have callerid and reversal polarity detection!. Prices seems to be half of Mediatrix.

I have been eagerly awaiting word on these devices! They would not give me one on evaluation, and charge a 20% restocking so I have not tried them myself. Please post your findings :-)

I will
