Yea, but if you buy a 2 port FXS for $75, that's $600/8. :) Not as elegant, but definitely another possibility (the o.p. seemed a tad dismayed he had to get all that hardware just to add on a line.). >Anyway I think he's got his recommendations :-) Yep! -Michael ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I've been unclear. It was a purely hypothetical situation. It could be a case of expansion, or a new system requiring more circuits than a single card supports. I think there's a gap. A channel bank tied into a T1 is kinda kludgy for such a small system. Technically sound, but kludgy. Any other system of that size wouldn't need all the integration gear. You'd just plug the lines in. I know, I know; this is Asterisk, and that means one has to be creative. Perhaps I already knew the answer before I asked the question . . . still, one can hope. > But again even a TDM401P is $133 on > Digium's site.

Is there a place to buy brand new Adit600's with 5+ FXOs and a T1 card for $800? (I've looked on eBay, but that's not a reliable supply chain, and I have yet to see such a price for new equipment). Seems to me one is looking at more like $2000. > Anyway I think he's got his recommendations :-) Sure do! Thanks. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Why on earth would you buy a new one? Warranty? Screw that, buy two and have a spare ON HAND -- much better than relying on a courier to get a replacement to you overnight and your customer having the down time. Pricey for a one-off, sure, but if you've got two or three systems deployed that on-the-shelf spare is unbelievably cheap, especially since it's modular. This is something I recommend for anything as critical as a phone system. I'd suggest having a spare TDM400P with some modules onhand at all times, too. Ebay's as reliable as anything else for this stuff, in my experience. Unless you're going and installing one of these things a week or something, in which case I'm sure your price from CAC is going to be much better than $2k. I was negotiated a bulk buy of 24 (yes 24) entire Access Bank Is from an ebay vendor -- It feel through because I decided at the last moment that I really didn't need that many onhand and couldn't justify tying the money up in it. -A. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
