Imagestream is really not the company to look to for this kind of solution. They are not really interested in selling anything other than their complete routers from what i can tell. Sangome will have a DS3 card out shortly I believe. It should have the capability to work down to the DS0 level from what I recall. I know for sure it will be capable of channelized DS3 (1 ds3 to 28T1s). Seems to me that the voice signal processing on 672 DS0s might be a little touch for todays PC type processors, this is purely speculation though.
