I think that the card they have with  4 E1's / H323 and ethernet could
be considered just as a MG seen from the '*'
side and that might be the most easy way to go if you dont want go all
the way and make a channel driver.
My 1c on that issue.

The Aculab VoIP card actually only supports 2E1. Also, it is possible to use an API to drive it to handle the RTP only, leaving SIP/h.323 whatever to the application. However, what you can't do with the Aculab side of things (and I have though about this myself) is use it as a replacement for the Digium cards as there is no way to get the voice onto the PCI bus (even with Prosody).

I'm afraid I would consider using these cards instead of the Digium ones
otherwise for two reasons:

1) Worldwide certification and approval
2) Worldwide protocol support.

However, they don't work and thats all there is to it!

I think that a simple/light integration should be possible. The Aculab acting as an endpoint should be able to register
at the '*' (allthough I haven't actually tried it). The voice will not be using either the S.100 or PCI bus,
it would be coming via the ethernet. You can think of it just like a MG that speaks SS7 against the PTT and
H323 again '*'. The program that uses the Aculab API would just be a 'dumb' bridging program.
The other benefit you get is that all the G723 and G729 to ulaw can be done on the embedded DSP on the board.
