I did find this on the VMware wish list re Asterisk and PCI slots. I'm not holding my breath.

It's not going to work. Vmware presents a complete Virtual PC, so unless
EMC / Vmware release drivers to specifically connect the Virtual PC to the
real PC hardware, you are in trouble. The do a pass-through w/ USB, Serial
and Paralell, but those are a different story.

I'm afraid that under any Virtual platform (CoLinux, Vmware, MS Virutal
PC) you are SOL as far as real access to hardware on the host PCI bus
w/out special drivers written specifically for that purpose. On the other
hand, I'm sure that Vmware would be happy to help you out if you gave them
a couple of million bucks! ;)
