Either a T1 card to channel bank with 8 FXS channels, which is expensive but allows for great expandability down the line, or you'll have to look at ATAs/gateways (networking in other words). If the computer only has 1 PCI slot, how would you expect to fit 2 brackets worth of FXS connectors if you went with an internal solution? (I'm thinking 1 PCI slot, 1 backside bracket.) I know there is a Zaptel USB module, but don't know of any hardware or compatibility information. -- -Bryce [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTICE: The views expressed in this e-mail do not neccesarily reflect those of my employer, this company, or its employees.
