Any recommendations for FXS/FXO hardware with Cisco Unified CME

[Joel M Snyder <Joel.Snyder () Opus1 COM>]

Folks:

Since a lot of NSPs are also in the VoIP business, I was wondering if 
anyone has specific recommendations for low-density (2-8 ports) FXS/FXO 
hardware that they are using with Cisco PBX devices.  (And I guess T1/E1 
as well.)

I know that typical IOS boxes can take modules/interfaces/whatever to 
handle FXS/FXO/T1/E1, but I'm trying to put some electrical distance 
between the Cisco PBX and the phone company to keep environmental 
problems (lightning, mostly) from blowing up the PBX.

Cisco themselves seem to have cancelled almost all of their low-end 
hardware, leaving us with Sipura/Linksys.  I have had good results with 
Audiocodes+Asterisk, but not in the Cisco PBX environment.  Does anyone 
have boots-on-the-ground knowledge of good analog gateway choices that 
play very nicely with Cisco PBX?
