Putting that many calls on one system is not a good idea... you'll want to spread those calls over multiple machines with some sort of redundancy or failover. 

Also, the card you reference is for clear channel data only, not voice. However, you may want to give Sangoma a call. They are top notch when it comes to custom solutions and have some of the brightest people on staff. 

In my research into T3/E3 connectivity, I've found it's generally best to go with some sort of a MUX that will take your T3/E3 and break it down into individual T1/E1 circuits. If I recall, Adtran makes a few nice units for this.
