[cisco-voip] Cheap Platform for High Density FXS?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

it also depends on the total amount of ports and what those ports are. VG224 are only regular on-premise loops. the routers allow for OPX-lite ports. and of course, uplink ports cost money too. if you have a local switch with plenty of uplink ports, and come up with a good way to manage your devices, then multiple vg224s might be your best bet.

I'm not totally against 2 boxes but I was liking having it builtin to 
the router for consolidation on the 2600 I can use the fe or wic slots 
for wan connectivity along side the voice connectivity. Not every site 
has T1 so a channel bank is to inflexible. Looking at the VG224, that 
doesnt look bad, looks like a IAD for the most part, dual fe is nice 
too.
