A PCI express card with four primary rate ISDN ports, each linked up to a 
channel bank, will give you 120 analogue lines.  So you will need nine such 
cards; and for reasons of simple numbers of slots on a motherboard, they will 
have to be split among three or more servers, linked to a gigabit switch.

You might end up getting a better deal if you bought 1000 hardware SIP phones.  
(You also would probably increase your personal indispensability factor, into 
the bargain .....)
