1. Use 4 Sipuras (approx. $400). Only problem is, I can't get this to work! Sipura says use the G711 codec but it's not working for me. Anybody have this working?
I haven't got any Sipura's to test, but I tried and failed with Grandstream 286's. My general experience (and advice I have been given) is that transferring modem data across a network is a bad thing - any jumps in the call, and any lag at all will cause the whole thing to fail. It's generally OK for fax, but remember that fax works at a significantly lower speed to modem transfer.
2. Use 8 FXS ports (approx. $700). Haven't tried this yet but it is more expensive.
I have managed to get a single FXO to FXS working for a dialup modem, although I was only getting 24000bps. I am told (although I haven't had the opportunity to try yet) that when I connect to a digital ISDN line for the incoming calls, I will get better throughput (closer to 56k). That said, this is probably your best option.
