Probably a good idea. Just need to work out how much the channel bank costs (~60 phones at the moment, probably best to allow for ~100).
Adit600 with 48 FXS = ~USD$500-600 on ebay TE405P = USD$1500
Two Adit600s give you 96 ports and the TE405P will let you grow that to 192 without breaking a sweat for $2700. You can save $500 by using two T100Ps but you won't be able to get past 96 ports without more Digium hardware... and they don't bus master either, but not sure how big a deal that is. :-)
Remember 96 ports translating from slinear -> GSM or iLBC or g729 is going to require some processor power. AND you're talking the backbone of your company's phone network too. At the very least I'd be looking dual Xeon (mobo quality speaks for itself) with SCSI RAID1 (HW or SW) and dual redundant power. Supermicro makes such a system, I think 1 proc, 512M ECC RAM and dual 9G drives was just under USD$1200.
And if you're playing it safe, you'll have TWO TE405Ps and an entire extra Adit600 chassis + power supply + at least 1 T1 controller + 1 octal FXS card lying around.
Ask yourself how much fun it will be to have a dead card/power supply/motherboard/channel bank chassis and the entire phone system is down while you're sitting there with your thumb up your arse because 5 minutes ago you were bragging about how much money you saved by not having the spares handy. :-)
