We have a similar situation but have needed to run a legacy Telrad PBX in parallel with a test Asterisk VOIP PBX. The way we have got round it is to run a minimal configuration of Asterisk in combination with a multi-interface Digium PRI card on a 1U short depth Supermicro server. The OS is a minimal CentOS installation. Effectively we have a PRI to IAX2 to PRI gateway which has operated flawlessly for 18 months. In the same time we have 3-4 test VOIP PBX systems and the Telrad is still non-the-wiser that it isn't still talking directly to the Telco. I bet this would be cheaper, easier to configure and more flexible that a proprietary PRI to SIP Gateway. You also get the advantage of IAX2 trunking rather than SIP.
