Not necessarily stupid, but certainly expensive.
Have you looked into buying some cheap multiport ATAs? 2 port SIP/IAX2 ATA should be around $70-80?
Yep, that's a possibility, but it's rather more kludgy than I'd like. (heck, the channel bank and T1 is more kludgy than I'd like - an integrated card would be my preference).

Really? For five lines I need to buy all that hardware?
Hmm.
Well, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question.

In light of all the troubles people report when running more than one TDM400 card in a system, I wouldn't mind hearing what your solution of choice would be when having to connect 5 or more analog telco circuits to an Asterisk.
I'll try and compile the answers together and get them into the Wiki, as I figure this could be useful knowledge for the community.
TIA,
Jim.
If you already need 5+ lines, and expect any growth, ask your telco to quote for a T1 with 6 (or 8) channels enabled.
It might not be as expensive as you'd think, and you get all the advantages
of a digital circuit, plus an easy expansion route.
Plus you avoid the (possible) need for a channel bank.
