Our telco here in Bulgaria has this option - you can get what number of lines you want on a primary (E1 here).
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)

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
