Hardware may be a problem, though.
At least Digium's USB FXS adapter is working here, even though the driver
used to have some "intel only" days. (ie. it would not compile on PPC, due
to some hard-wired MMX stuff, but that was fixed in CVS after a few days.)

I guess the other Digium hardware should work just as well.

Many other vendors require binary-only (and therefore x86 only) firmware
upload tools, though.

HTH,
