To use the old phones and existing wiring you'll need some E1/T1 FXS Channel banks and a T1/E1 Card. Each bank will handle 30/24 phones and pipe them into a single E1/T1 connection.
You can connect up to 4 (or 8 soon from Sangoma) T1's per card. I really like the Sangoma cards, there are also Digium cards as well. The Wiki will have a lot more information regarding Channel Banks and FXS adapters, I would suggest starting there.
