A better choice would be to get a T1-E1 interface card over USB. What if we can use the GPIO pins?

How about a beroNet gateway?

You did not mention if the office uses BRI or PRI lines. There used to
be cheap USB HFC chipset based ISDN BRI (not PRI) Terminal Adapters
(e.g. Billion tinyUSB ISDN TA 128k) but they don't seem available
anymore. Afaik FreeSWITCH does not support them (a HFC BRI/PRI module
would be cool) but they should work with the latest dahdi+zaphfc
patch/libpri/asterisk or mISDN/lcr/asterisk. Thinking of it maybe you
could make lcr talk to FreeSWITCH but I never investigated that.
