I seriously doubt you'll find a 250 MHz PC that can transcode +200 
simultaneous phone calls and support T.38!

Your standard "Off the Shelf" Cisco AS5350 will do it but Cisco Packs 
the DSP chips in their access servers.  Granted it will set you back 
$10K from eBay (Or more like +$20 - 30K from Cisco) but you do get what 
you pay for.
