I missed the part about Xorcom initially and I see nobody answered it
yet.
Yes, a Xorcom PRI module should be able to take fit here and get timing
from the main Zaptel / DAHDI timing source on the system.
IIRC, though (some? all?) Digium digital cards have a sync cable option
which may be what you need here.
