[VoiceOps] CPE IAD recommendations

[Scott Berkman]

Did you look at the Edgemarc's?  You sound like you need a 4508T4:

I really recommend that you give them a shot and include this product in
your evaluation.

The ONLY TA900 that has FXS and multiple FXO ports is the TA924E-8FXO
(unless something has changed), which has 16 FXS and 8 FXO plus the one
fixed FXO, and is the most expensive of the TA-900 series.  I believe all
the TA9XXE's do have the one fixed FXO however if that is enough.

Looks like an interesting product line, but I didn't see any mix of
digital and analog.  What I really need is one PRI, and a couple of
FXS ports, and at least one FXO port.

The 908e looks promising.  I really like that you can play with the
GUI / CLI BEFORE you buy one.  Just have to register on the Adtran
website and go to http://www.adtran.com/vlab  I wish more vendors had
that.

Does anyone know if you can connect one of the T1 ports on a 908e to a
PSTN PRI?  The documentation is not clear and mainly talks about
customer facing PBX connections and data termination.  I have a call
into pre-sales, but nothing back yet...

LOL, Ummm... Actually I don't remember any of my classmates having
THAT bad of an interface when I was taking Operating Systems...
