Look at a Sip or IAX interface like this: Quintum AXG2400 24FXS Analog VOIP Gateway 501-0145-00 The Tenor AXG2400 Twenty-Four Port Enterprise Gateway is designed for analog station side applications. It is used for interfacing analog devices such as phones, FAX's, keyswitches, or PBX's to the VoIP network. . Or this one: Audiocode MediaPackl MP124-FXS Analog Gateway with 24 FXS Lines - SIP Protocol These run about $2K and have 24 ports. Better price per port than T1 & channel bank combined (unless the CBs are used).
