Although I don't have any experience with your particular hardware,
afaik there is no issue with building and running zaptel, libpri and
asterisk on x86_64 hardware. Works fine for many. You can find (S)RPMs
at http://atrpms.net and at http://www.laimbock.com/asterisk/ If you
search on http://voip-info.org there are more places where you can find
packages for FC5. If I may make a suggestion: have you thought about
getting another harddisk and run the two in a RAID1 setup? The cost of
the extra harddisk versus the cost of being down on a 4 span card is
something probably worth considering.
