We have one hotel using Xorcom devices. It has 1 32 port FXS bank, and 1 24 port FXS + 8 Port FXO. It works great with all the old analog phones in the motel, over the existing wiring. I haven't tried it with a fax though, but modem usage is very hit and miss. The Xorcom guys are looking into this, as it should work. Apart from that problem though, I'm very happy with the Xorcom boxes.
To do the 380 extensions though would require 12 of these boxes, so you'd be using 12 USB connection on a single PC.
