Opening up the hardware issue, you will be confounded with a lot of
options \8)

Equinox has a model that allows you to have up to 8 internal modems per
PCI card, multiply that by 5 slots (assuming every other card is onboard)
you can have a 40 modem beast in one box.

You can go with the cyclades multi-serial adapter, but it's messy, you
need a serial cable going to an external modem, a power adaptor going to
the modem, not to mention the phone line...


Most people would rather go with terminal servers like the livingston
portmaster, CISCO AS5300, or USR Total control if you have a lot of modems
to deploy.
