Asking about inserting Asterisk between a 4 line analogue PBX and the outside world...

The proposed solution (with 4 x FXO and 4 x FXS using 2 TDM400 cards) will work fine until the asterisk box dies or suffers power failure.

An alternative may be to use 4 Sipura SPA-3000 ATAs (which have an FXO and an FXS port as well as an RJ45 network port (think of them as two ATAs an a single box...) and are cheap (see http://www.voiptalk.org )

                                                  PABX


In the event of power failure the FXO port is switched directly to the FXS port, effectively bypassing the IP side of things completely.

Actually, I think you *could* build what you're describing just with the SPA-3000s, but you would, of course, lose a lot of flexibility...
