asterisk users - Mar 2003 - Which Hardware to buy for a simple * box

I've to project and build a fresh new box with * on.

Basically, i'll have this situation:

The office is connected to the phone carrier with a PRI.
I need to let users continue to use their analog phones in a office, and an
IP-phone based solution on the remote office, that will call using outside
using the PRI on the first one.

PRI---> Asterisk ---> Analog phones
            |
            |
        Remote Office-> IP Phones

I think I'll have to buy 1 E100P, but i'm not very sure of what I've
to buy
for the analog part of the voice network...

I was thinking about a T100P with T1 Channel Bank, after reading this ML.

Is this the right way?

Can you indicate me some Channel Bank findable in italy?

Thanks,

yep, E100P minimal for connection to your PRI. If you only need 24 or
less channels in the office you could go with a T100P and a T1
channelbank from ebay. If you look at some of the modular channel banks
you can echange the T1 controller for a E1 controller for not to much
compared to a new E1 based channelbank.
