True, but a PRI is gonna cost him about $500/month. Depending on how
busy their phones are, they could "oversubscribe" 8 phones to a
2-channel BRI line, or even get 2 BRI's and have 4 channels available.

Now depending on what they do for Internet access, an integrated T1
could be an ideal solution. Use 6 or 8 channels for voice, and have
the rest for data.

But at this point we have definitely strayed away from his questions
about using Asterisk and Digium hardware :-)
