You can always go with like a mediatrix 1124 - 24-port FXS access device configuration is a nightmare with these things they make you use the horrible app that they make you install. And you don't even get the software free to be able to $2500 device that you just bought. Anyways I have 2 of these devices and am very un happy with them ended switching them out with asterisk with a t1 and a channel bank and it works perfect.

There are newer channel type devices that are just gateways. I am sure there are benefits of doing it each way.
