Thanks Eric & Tim, I'll put Sangoma back on the shopping list then :) I also found a thing called a "Jingletel A400EL" which looks like an A400-module-compatible low-height PCIe card.... but the name suggests it's yet more Chinese knock-off cr*p. With postage to the UK, it's about the same price as a Sangoma, which in turn is about the same as I paid for the server (after cashback).
Harumph. I wonder if I could hacksaw an A400E into fitting..... If anyone in the UK has an old Sangoma A200 (I only need 1x FXO, if it comes with 2x FXS as well that's a brucie bonus) they'd be willing to sell for up to about 60 quid, please drop me a line.
