Sure; lots of them, in port counts up to 48.  They're not cheap.
Expect to pay about $105 a port or so, on average.

I was looking at the Audiocodes, about 6 months ago when I was prepping
a project, but I haven't had hands-on.  Iv you *really* need a lot of
ports, check out the Vegastream, but, again, no testimony here.

Keep in mind though, that it can be a good thing to have a warm spare,
so high port counts aren't *always* the best answer.
