asterisk users - Nov 2010 - GSM and SS7 Questions

I have two questions for the group.

#1 - I'm looking to use some GSM SIM cards with my Asterisk PBX.   Can
anyone recommend a gateway?  I need about 10-15 SIM slots.

#2 - I'm also looking to connect Asterisk to an SS7 signaled DS1 (24
channels) for inbound and outbound voice calls.  Can anyone offer any
suggestions for cards to use there?

In regard to #2, "any" T1 card should work.  But the problem is you
need SS7
software and SS7 connectivity in addition to the T1 card.

Sangoma has both - the card and the software.  I think you have to 
dedicate a box to SS7 though...
