That actually sounds more than interesting :)

I was talking to a customer today, that was interested in running
asterisk on cPCI if the hardware were available, just because cPCI boxes
are known to be quite a bit more reliable (both assembly and lifetime
wise). Add a channelized DS3 on top of that and you will make this
customer very happy.
