Kiran- I don't really know of a Generic PC Solution for Voice Applications as compared to the use of the Cisco VIC2FXS router modules, but Cisco as well as a few competitors have "Soft-PBXs" that use proprietary Line cards in a PC... if I remember right.
The Cisco AVVID solutions use Compaq, and I think IBM and HP Servers, with special PCI-based cards in conjunction with Cisco Voice-Access Servers (Routers, ICS7750, 3600, 2600, 1700 series) to this. One of the competitors (I think they're called Agilent) uses similar architecture. As for the VIC2FXS, to my knowledge, you have to have a NM-1V, or a NM-2V to use VIC2FXS card. The (N)et(M)odule-1/2V is the Digital Signal Processor part of the Voice technology, and the VIC2FXS is just the analog interface. Alternatively, you could use a Cisco 1750/51/60-2/4/6V Router and plug the VIC2FXS card directly into it for use. The key is that the 1700 routers have to have a DSP chip in them too ( which looks like a stick of SDRAM, but its not;) ). Hope that was of good information.

And also is it possible to use VIC2FXS in NM2FE2W.
