It supports two T1's and my boss tells me that we can get the for about 400-800 dollars.
They use 8 port c\expansion cards, so you can three groups of ports, say 16 FXS (2x FXS) and 8 FXO ports (1x FXO).
These units are programmed using a crossover cable and a serial port.
They have a lot of other features that I don't know how to use, but they work grate for us.
I hope this helps.

Can anyone mention a brand that carries boards with 4 compatiblepcislots?What 4 cards are you thinking of installing? Most people seem toruninto trouble after the second concurrent card.I was thinking one 4 port FXO card Two 4 port FXS card And the fourth with one FXO and three FXs For a total of 11 FXSs and 5 FXOs (for five POTS lines and 11 analog extensions).You would be far better off going with a channel bank and T1 card. Immediately you get room for expansion as you won't be limited to just 16 ports. As for cost, 4x $305(I think that is the current price) = $1220, $1220 - $500(t100P) = $720, or enough left over to get taken on parts from ebay a couple of times before you reach level costs.What trouble should I run into? Define trouble? Hard to configure, or impossible because of IRQsharingissues or whatever?Trouble being 4 x 1000 interupts per second on the machine. Lack of expansion, interupt sharing, any number of annoyances.Anyways, almost all motherboards put 4 PCI slots on the board asit isnot much extra and expected on anything non entry level.I thought so. Apparently most of them only come with three. I was hoping to locate a motherboard that has five so I'll have roomtoexpand, but four will be great. Anybody knows if PCI express technology is compatible withWildcards?-- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
