asterisk users - Sep 2004 - OT: Hardware solutions to tie two offices together

Good <fill in local time of day>

I'm looking for a piece of hardware that we can place in two offices 
that have decent bandwidth, but are in two different US states.

There are phone systems on both sides, that have extra CO analog line 
ports that I'd like to connect through. One side has an IVR, the other 
side does not use one during office hours.

The best configuration would allow callers from either office to be able 
to dial an extension for the other office and have it ring through to 
their desk.

If the device could just hotline to the other side when picked up, that 
would be acceptable as well.

I would prefer that there be no other intermediary involved in call setup.

I have a SPA-2000 at home, but I couldn't find anything in the setup for 
doing this. If anyone believes that the SPA can do this, please provide 
me with configuration info.

Thanks.

What type of phone systems do you have in either office?  I have done
different applications for my customers in the past that wanted the same
type of service.  Basically if you are just using co ports this would be a
tie line service.  There may be a better solution though.
