I'm thinking more like 20 or so analog phone lines, roughly what good analog PBX appliances handle these days. That would require five TDM400P's, which seems to me quite a lot of expansion slots to take over; most modern motherboards don't have so many, and in addition each TDM400P requires an extra power socket, like the one for a hard drive. I've only seldom seen power supplies with six or more connectors these days: most have fewer than that (and let's not talk about y-splitter cables, that's asking to burn the power supply the longer you use it). > But of course you can buy their E1 card which will give you a lot > more. If you have digital lines, that's a good way to go. But if you're attempting to interface with legacy analog lines like many businesses still have, the TE410P and similar cards are useless. I cannot be sure but I get the feeling that the rate for an E1R2 + leased line these days is still significantly more than getting, say, 32 analog phone lines in a single trunk... -- dido Sans les mathematiques on ne penetre point au fond de la philosophie.
