An E1 has 30 lines, so you would be perfect with a TE110P. Connecting an
E1 to a company PABX is however an expensiveoption, so you might want to
compare the prices with 10 analogue lines or maybe 5 BRI lines. I would
not  let the price of hardware decide this because  you  will need to
pay a fixed cost per month for PSTN lines, so check these prices first.
Asterisk is scalable in the sence that you can add more later if you
have an available PCI slot.
