I have a small office setup with a VIA PD10000 board which is similar.  
I cannot guarantee that you'll have the same results with the Versa, but 
you should.  I have used both a Digium TDM11b card as well as an OpenVox 
a1200p (12 port card).  We run hylafax via iaxmodem and use the g729 
codec.  I get an occasional echo on my Polycom 600, but I'm several 
firmware revisions behind on the phone.  The board seems to handle the 
load quite well.  Additionally openvpn is actively used as this box also 
serves as the firewall.
