Yes. Buy a server that has the corresponding ports to accommodate the
cards. A modern server is probably going to have PCI-E slots and
you'll want the appropriate TDM cards.

Yes. That's a lot of power to drive a comparatively small number of calls.

Also, I find it interesting that so many of the answers to these
questions turn into a:
'you're going to use that for bad purposes'
which is retorted with:
'no I'm not'

I will say that I make a boatload of these outgoing 'play a file'
calls, and they are for legitimate purposes to existing customers. Is
it really that hard to imagine a business with a good reason to call
their customers?

I think that if somebody asked for a postal machine that processed a
large number of letters somebody would say 'you're using that for junk
mail', and somebody else would say 'fine, I won't mail you your
paycheck'. I mostly just think it amusing that everybody has bad
motives until proven otherwise. And moreover, the idea that you can
somehow inoculate the world from people with bad motives if you don't
provide assistance.
