Hi Matt & everyone else,
We have also been steering toward using a gateway for our large installation.
Ours differs from your significantly in as much as our setup will involve 8 apartment buildings located throughout the CBD. Each apartment building will have as many as 600 extensions (rooms) with an Asterisk Server in the comms room in the basement.
Incoming and Outgoing calls are going to be trunked from the Asterisk box along a fiber link back to our core exchange, where the calls will be handed off to a gateway machine (Cisco?) which will have an impressively large number of PRI's plugged into the back of it.
My (very vague) examination so far tells me that I can use something along the lines of a Cisco AS5400 (a couple of which I have kicking around here in the office).
Has anyone had experience in handing off / receiving calls from a Cisco AS5400 with Asterisk ?
How is it done ?
Matt, is this similar to the idea that you have for your project ? What Cisco hardware have you looked at so far ? How many E1/T1 lines are you going to have terminating on your setup ?
Cheers,
Callum

Michael,
Have you decided which PSTN-VoIP gateway you'll use?
Not yet, but our preference is a Cisco gateway. Lucent, Quintum, and AudioCodes also make TDM-VoIP gateways.
Prior to purchasing any hardware, our entire layout will be posted to this list in detail for review.
