At $25 or $40 per port it could make sense to use FXS instead of VoIP. I haven't really followed the Linksys products; is the PAP2-NA commercially available unlocked? I thought they only sold these locked to Vonage. As another poster suggested, channel banks can be had for cheap on eBay, but I generally don't consider used equipment on eBay a source most businesses would look to.
