An AGI application should be able to do this for you..

We also have the possibility that the next step may involve several hundred users. How can I provide something now and scale UP from a "commidity" PC (running GNU/Linux of course)? The Wildcard X100P only has 1 port. Are there other higher density options that "just work"? I've seen mentioned an Intel/Dialogic card that looks high density and expensive and interesting. I don't mind having a farm of these things on commidity hardware... within reason. Again, I'm a newbe trying to get myself up to speed on this topic.

The digium hardware is your best bet (as opposed to intel/dialogic), you can get a single quad port card that will handle either 96 channels of T1 or 120 channels of E1 depending on which part of the world you live in..

An X100P will give you a working model with a simgle channel, If you want to use a BRI ISDN line you could use an AVM or EICON ISDN card..
