Here's a work around. I keep drumming the table till we realize that
we are not stuck with proprietary black boxes.

>>>> X PRI >>> Asterisk Server >>> FXO >>> Panasonic                   >>>  Analogue Extensions to existing users
                                            >>> FXO >>>  Nortel
                     >>>
                                            >>> FXO>>> Whichever
black box you ..>>>


The only limitation is the number of analogue ports available on the
existing PBX which will also determine the number of concurrent calls
going forward. In order to add new users you may opt to add SIP
Extensions on the Asterisk box as opposed to adding or buying a later
model.

For me this is not Theory I have successfully implemented it using a
Nortel Blackbox and Openworld has done the same. There exists tonnes
of documentation, to assist any willing to dip their toes.
