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.
