I don't see how that is possible.  This device does not connect to the PCI bus, at all.  It has two RJ11 ports that can connect to a LAN, or directly to the asterisk box so it may be possible to "make it work", somehow, but it cannot "replace" a TDM card, which is what I thought you were suggesting.

I missed the original posting.  Since no one else has spoken up, perhaps I am off base.  Please help clear up what I am missing.
