You are wanting to use a PCI backplane and put a bunch of TDM400P FXS cards instead of a T1 and a channel bank? If that's what you're asking...
A T1 card and a channel bank yield 24 extensions. If you figure the TDM400P is $305 for 4 extensions, it would cost $1830 to get enough FXS ports (not to mention the IRQ and other problems you may run into with that many cards). The T1 card is $495, leaving you $1335 to find a 24FXS channel bank (which is more than enough on eBay). A large number of extensions would be handled by way of T1s and channel banks - up to 96 channels on one pci card with the T400P (1 pci card and 4 channel banks). Out of curiosity, why are you reluctant/opposed to a T1 and channel bank?
