I would not use multiple HFC-cards, but would either use the QuadBRI or 
OctoBRI cards available (and pointed out by a previous poster), or use 
an external ISDN gateway. It seems INALP has come across with some new 
pricing, something like 500-600 EUR for a 4-Port ISDN gateway (Inalp 
SN4638 Gateway/Router)

Let us know your final findings.
