I think It would be cheaper to use dedicated VoIP PSTN Gateways, such as audiocodes or similar (audiocodes is actually a bad example, as their not that cheap). But dedicated ATA hardware with 24 or more ports.

It currently has 200+ analog phones connected to it. The idea is to take advantage of the already installed phone cables (big building) so I'm trying to avoid the use of ethernet adapters (if possible). However, I'm realizing that it's an expensive setup and will definitely require two or more cooperating Asterisk servers (cluster) mainly due to PCI slot availability. I am aware of the TDM2400P card. One could put 6 FXS uqad-modules and would serve 24 analog phones. However, I would need at least 9 of these PCI cards which could be placed in 2 or 3 servers. Is there another way of doing this (hopefully cheaper and more convenient)? Thank you for your suggestions.
