No, but if you find an E3 PCI card with nice Linux support there might 
be people interested in helping to get it working with *.

Doesn't ImageStream have these (E3 and others) cards running in Linux 
(for their routers Linux-based ?).
Still, someone mentioned horse-power AND the 'all eggs in a single E3'

If you look back at the archives, you will probably find discussion
about that card has been here before. There isn't appropriate drivers in
linux for telephony. You did mean a telephony interface since you are in
asterisk, right?

Another promising candidate is Apple's dual G5 (PPC970) Xserve (a 1U server).
http://www.apple.com/xserve
this one looks as if it might beat the price/performance ratio of a
high end Intel server.
The Apple G5 Xserv system has a PCI-X interface.  Does anyone know 
what that is and will a T405P or T410P card work?

Both systems run LinuxPPC.
Does anyone have * running on PPC?

Yeah, check out:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20MacOSX%20Support
Specifically for OS X.  There's a download link.  The problem still is 
that no one has written ppc drivers for the Digium cards.  As I 
understand, the only drivers are for GNU/Linux on i386.  You wanna 
write some for the good of the BSD and PPC communities? ;-)

That's not entirely correct. The Zaptel drivers work on LinuxPPC.

Further, there is some work in progress on Zaptel drivers for BSD and
some folks use X100P and TDM400 on FreeBSD already. Since OSX is BSD
based, it will eventually benefit from the work done to bring Zaptel
to BSD. We have made an Xserve available for Rich Murphey, one of the
main contributors to the Asterisk on BSD effort, specifically for him
to test things on OSX.

What's needed is more contributors to the BSD effort, or so it would
seem. Since driver development requires skills that are less common
than those required for many other development tasks, there are fewer
people who can do it. It also takes more time to move drivers from one
platform to another. I think a sponsorship fund could do some good
because it might give somebody the ability to work fulltime on drivers
for BSD in general and OSX in particular.

I believe that it should be possible to raise significant sponsorship
funds for drivers (especially for OSX) from end user donations alone.
In order to do that, a few people need to come together, think about
how to organise this, set up a website, open a kagi and/or paypal
account and get the word out. I am discussing this idea at present
with some Mac folks who seem to be willing to put a bit of time and
effort into this. Anybody who would like to join in on this, please
contact me directly.

I don't know if any of their cards are really suitable for telephony, 
but they don't appear to do any E3 cards in PCI form. They have E3 
mezzanine cards for cPCI.

None currently, and it may be a while before it is wise to trust that
many voice calls in and out of a single PC. You would do well to split
it apart into single E1s and service that in a cluster of machines.
Think about the upgrade headache of bringing down an entire E3 to
upgrade code? At least in multiple E1 config, you can shutdown
gracefully and let the calls go elsewhere while the current calls begin
to fall of. Then you upgrade the individual machine and let it rejoing
the cluster.

I kind of doubt any one PC can handle more than a quad T1/E1 amount of 
CODEC work. Any one out there seen anything beyound 4 T/E1's?

John Todd and I had a discussion about that recently. We were looking
at non x86 alternatives mainly because of IRQ issues but found that
there should be gains in terms of performance as well.

For example, we speculated that the new IBM eServer OP720 (a 4U
server) should be able to handle more than a single T1, especially the
4 way model.

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/openpower/hardware/720.html

Another promising candidate is Apple's dual G5 (PPC970) Xserve (a 1U server).

http://www.apple.com/xserve

this one looks as if it might beat the price/performance ratio of a
high end Intel server.

Both systems run LinuxPPC.

We thought Apple and IBM should be eager to do some Asterisk load
testing on their systems and that we would love to have the spare time
to put this idea into their heads as John put it.
