I know I've missed the original message in this thread, so it'll be a bit 
out of place, but what about the Xorcom Channel banks?

e.g.:

Trouble is, you'll need 7 32-port units to cover your needs and I'm not 
sure if USB2 is up to driving that many ... Tzafrir?

However, even with E1 units, you're still looking at 7 E1 ports... (2 quad 
cards + the external channel bank)
