My view is that whilst there were (are?) drivers for some dialogic cards
(and I don't think that the D/300SC-1E1 is one of them) it isn't worth 
the
hassle.

Asterisk is based on the concept that DSP/protocol handling is best
done on a CPU. The D300 takes the approach that that is is best done in
DSPs and separate protocol handling chips, so the driver would be
sub-optimal.

For the price of a copy of the latest Intel  firmware and a Dialogic 
driver
for asterisk  you can probably buy a digium E1 card and get the  
drivers for free.
(plus you get a card that is designed to work with asterisk).

If you find a use for those D300PCI's, let me know, I have 1 I don't 
need
anymore...
