80 rooms? I guess you and I have slightly differing opinions as to what
a "small" motel is. 
If you have 80 analogue channels, then you'd need 4 TDM2400P cards.
Unless your server is powered by a small nuclear reactor, you'll be
better off with either 3 E1 or 4 T1 channels banks or 2 32 port XR0008
and 1 16 port XR0006 Astribanks.

Dear List,
I have a customer who owns a little Motel, and he wants to upgrade to
a Asterisk PBX. There is one analog phone per room (aprox 80), and the
cable is CAT 3.
Any recommendations on what card to use?
TDM24XXP vs Channel Bank?

You might want to consider snagging an FXS channelbank off of eBay (we
use the Zhones, which work pretty well for us), and using a multi-port
T-1 card.
If this is not a business motel, you'll likely get by with 24 trunks,
so a quad-T card would support both your incoming lines and 3 channel
banks (we seem to pay about $180-240 for them, making this cost
effective), assuming "approximately 80" isn't more than 72.
If that's not enough ports, then yeah, you'll probably be best served
going to a Ethernet gateway; I personally have never liked the idea of
stuffing that much FXS inside a PC chassis.
Cheers,

Zhone. I had one and sold it as soon as I could. They are a real PITA to

Yeah, I gather they're a bit touchy to program. We need ours all the
same way, and have a script that Matt wrote to put them there.
As for CNID, I wouldn't know; I dont need it, and therefore haven't
tried. IME, though, analog hotel phones don't have displays anyway.

happy with them and tech support at Adtran. Support from Adtran has
been nothing short of excellent even though they knew I calling
about used chan banks from purchased on Ebay. One note is if the
admin/craft interface has a password on it, you have to call Adtran
to reset it. There is a way to bring up a numeric challenge code
and support will tell you the response to it and you are in.

Yeah, Adtran builds good stuff. I hear decent things about the Adit's,
as well; they're certainly all pretty and modular...
Challenge/response is a nice idea for that; I hear the Adit's are a
bear to break into.
