Digi makes good stuff, but I remember it being really expensive for their high-density stuff. I picked up a couple of cards from a small company called Eicon networks - Diva Server. 24 modems per card - plug a T1 in the back and you are done. Had one doing RAS with Windows Server 2003 for dialup access, and another in a Lotus Notes server for direct Notes dial-in support. The boards were flawless - and that's pretty high praise, esp. from the Notes side of house. Serial support in Domino has always been problematic and I remember many fellow Notes admins who refused to believe you could have more than four modems on a Domino server - let alone have them be reliable :-) Looks like Dialogic bought the hardware from Eicon (or maybe even Eicon outright? I can't tell): http://www.dialogic.com/products/tdm_boards/media_processing/Diva_V_PRI_T1.htm The cards used to be about $1,200 and the cost of a PRI T1 is much cheaper then individual analog lines. They have cards with fewer modems, but with the pricing of a T1 it was pretty cost effective to just go for a full T1.
