I can well understand the idea of having USB T1 adapters since that way you can colocate 1U Asterisk systems ;-) which at least doubles you density in a rack... Frank I'm glad I asked the question! I was just thinking to myself that it would be cool to have a USB T1 adapter so that I

Way cool product. Way too cool for my neighborhood -- the interface box is $7k. Software will set you back $3k to $30k. And then I would have no clue what to do with it. Maybe we could interest the guy thats building his own open telco hardware:
