Might not be lower in cost but when you take into account the cost of the server it would be - how about checking out the Vdex-40 appliance if you need 4 pots lines or less.

Another solution is using the grandstream GXW400x and GXW410x gateways. Cost per port seems lower on the gateways and no pci slot is required. Why would one choose to use the TDM-400 cards? what would be the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? Eric
