I've done the exact same thing.
We had a 23-channel PRI that a client was using for voice, but had a
small IVR for their banking application that had direct analog lines
pointed to it.
I ordered an Adtran Total Access 750 and an additional T1 (T100P) card.
The TA750 had 24 analog lines, with one T1 interface.
The asterisk server had 2 T100Ps one card was for the PRI, the second
was a cross-over to the Adtran 750. Works great, don't see why it
wouldn't work for you in the same method you are talking about for a
modem pool.
There is a better device if you have a PRI, an Adtran Atlas 550 is
basically a full phone switch. You can put an entire dialplan on it to do
router based on DID/DNIS. It will also do channelized T1 to PRI conversion
each way. Very slick boxes, I'm about to set one up for another asterisk
user to split 1 PRI to 12 pots lines for an older switch, 1 PRI for
Asterisk, 1 channelized T1 for a modem bank, and some FXO ports for an
older Brooktrout card. If anyone wants more info on them let me know.
