That reminds me, Cisco has a new device out, the IAD2430 that has T1 ports VWIC, and FXS ports. It will proably cost a bundle, though. Looks like the IAD2432 will handle 24 analog ports, up to two Data T1s and a voice T1 using the VWIC port. Supports SIP and MGCP.

The Cisco 242x (20 or 21), has a 24 port analog interface that
supports 16
FXS and 8 FXO. I've delpoyed hundreds of these IAD's signaling
with MGCP.
Not sure if it supports SIP yet. Hope this helps...
