Well, we only want 3 TDM400s: 4 FXO and 8 FXS. That will fit in nearly any desktop PC. That's not the scale that should require multiple boxes. But the question is where does the IRQ sharing instability creep in? I would think that *someone* out there would have a * box with 2-4 Digium cards in it that might be willing to share their experience. If the Digium cards can only be reliably run in a machine with only 1 or 2 of them, then I need to know so we can plan appropriately.
