asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Adit 600 for asterisk

Ok,  I've pretty much decided to try the Adit route.  Somebody who has
experience with these tell me if I'm missing something.

I have 15 incoming PSTN lines.  T1 is not an option at current
location.  I want to put in an Adit 600 with 2 8-port FXO boards.  The
adit will then connect to * via a digium t1 board.  I configure
zaptel.conf for the T1.  What other parts would be needed?  How do the
PSTN lines connect to the Adit, standard rj11 jacks? It looks to be
about a $2500 investment and I need to know if there is anything special
I am missing.

Thanks.

The Adit has a 50 pin D connector that is like the old SCSI connectors.
To connect your phone lines, you either want to get a punch down block
that has a 50 pin connector on it, or possibly a device with RJ11 style
jacks and a 50 pin connector. Then you connect it with a 25 pair cable
with 50 pin connectors on either side. 

Go to any reputable supplier near you and they should be able to help
you look at and find what you are comfortable with to use for
installation.
