I'm looking for an fxs - sip gateway/router/switch for about 100 existing analog phones. I'd like to get this done cheaply, but I want to make sure that whatever we buy works well with asterisk as well. As far as I can tell, digium make no such device. The only ones I've been able to find

Agree with 24 port being the max for a single device. In that vein I just deployed a handful of Grandstream 24 port FXS devices that seem to be working well at a decent price point. I don't normally recommend Grandstream for anything, and in the past we have only deployed Audiocodes for

That is just silly. You mean to say that the Adtran and the Adit units are not as reliable as these new devices. No way. Get Adtrans, buy a four port T1 card or even better get the redfone device and do HA Linux between to boxes, you have immediate failover.
