Maybe for a single port E1 card, maybe.  You'll definitely
have problems with 4 trunks, voicemail, conference, etc., on
a P3.  Need at least a P4 for all of that.  Maybe dual if
you are doing lots of codec translation.  If you are really
going to put asterisk to work with 120 lines, buy the
fastest box your budget will allow, 1 gig ram, SCSI, the
works.

If you've already got the P3, then by all means, try that
out first before spending your money.  You have to buy the
card either way.  Might as well test your configs on that.
