Jakub, do let me know for ALL your problems with Quintum gateways and I
promise in front of the whole forum
readers to fix it for you  completely  *** FOR FREE ***.
Quintum gateways have had bugs (like any other hardware/software product),
but that is a past.

  /--- PSTN - INGRESS
  PBX--BOX
  \
   --- PSTN - EGRESS

 I want the above noted BOX to have 3xE1/PRI:

  1 - to connect to the PSTN for INGRESS only calls
  2 - to connect to the PSTN for EGRESS only calls
  3 - to connect to the PBX originating/terminationg the BOX
      routes to/from PSTN.

It is not really needed to run VoIP on Cisco gateway in order to
interconnect 2 or more PRIs. The magic word
here is "TDM". Cisco can do channel multiplexing.

In example I have a scheme like:

PBX <---- PRI ---->  Cisco AS 5350 <---- PRI ----> PSTN

without even mentioning the word H.323/SIP/codec in my config.
