I'm using two Fritz!Cards in one box without any problems (yes, a
patch was required iirc but I found it quite easily via google...
somewhere on isdn4linux.de methinks). It works as a router/nat,
iax->pstn gateway, mail server, nfs (/home) and smb file server and
php+mysql app server for about a dozen clients. It worked for quite a
time on a p2/400 but we're currently moving it to a celeron/1700 as
the db is getting bigger.

No asterisk related problems whatever, except for dead channels left
sometimes (to clear them reliably, we need to shut down * and restart it).
