To complete my project, I would like to setup DIDs in several areas.
What do I need to do that? Another Asterisk box or can I use gateways

You either set up your own points of presence, or buy service from
somebody who already has them set up. So you could install an * with a zap
card, a stand-alone spa-3000, or some other device to establish the POP
where you want it (and you'll need broadband there too), or you could just
buy the service from a VOIP carrier. The latter, IMHO, is better because
you won't have to deploy hardware all over. Deployed hardware requires a
place to live, somebody to feed it and provide TLC whenever necessary.
Usually it's better to keep hardware in as few places as possible to
simplify that task..
I am looking for a small device with four FXO and one WAN connection. Simple, so that the cleaning woman can make a hardware reset if necessary. This device should be connnected to my Asterisk box. The box will be used in areas where DIDs are not available yet, and where you not even can make ads for it ;-(
It should be cheap, and it should connect either with SIP or IAX.
No FXS is needed !!!
If you don't like the VOIP delivery, telcos for years have offered "market expansion" lines which give you a number in a remote rate center which automatically forwards to your real number. (funny thing is, when I talked to Qwest about that a month ago, this forwarding service cost more than regular residential phone service!)
