New the Sangoma single T1 can be had for less than $500, but older but 
new 4 port T1 interfaces can be had for even less.
Check on eBay for the ? pbxtel? 4 port cards, Varion was offering a 4 
port unit with 1 bad port for less, and others may know of more 
bargains. A little shopping around and some patience can save big bucks
Same with channel banks, unless you already have one or more of those.
Even a one T1 port card gets the cost down to around $25 per port. Much 
better than the PCI analog cards or the SIP ATA's, which have their own 
problems
T1 is the best solution for flexibility.
