It isn't advisable to have "many" Zap cards in a machine. If you are
adding analog cards, you quickly run out of PCI slots before you get
very far. If you are adding T1/E1 cards, you quickly get to a point
where it is too risky to have that many circuits on a single x86 PC. The
whole point of X86 PCs is that they are cheap enough to put several in
use when you need it instead of building one behemoth machine.
