I know of boards that will enable me to mount 32 E1's into Asterisk 
assuming I write the drivers for them (DSP based cPCI) - that is not the 
real problem. The issue is that I need to split the traffic over several 
PC's to reduce the loss if one goes down - redundancy etc. But, I still 
need this to act as if it was 'one box'. An ideal design seen from my 
point would be 4 PC's with 8 E1's each and when 2 extra PC's just for 
PABX call control etc (one standby for the other).

I was kond-of hoping this had been solved, but I assume I am wrong???

Didn't Digium work on an OC1/E3 board ? Plenty of framer's on a chip so 
it is fully possible to make decent priced E3/PCI etc.
