Some rack-mount servers I've encountered have an option to have the<br>older-style PCI slots available in at least some slots. If you're<br>really just using four FXS/FXO ports, it's unlikely you need very much<br>horsepower, and you could use an older system for the foreseeable<br>future.<br><br>If you really need FXS/FXO, but want new non-PCI hardware, you might<br>be better off considering an asterisk appliance that would convert<br>FXS/FXO to SIP and let your new gear do the SIP, or just configure<br>asterisk directly on that appliance. You would probably save power<br>consumption versus a new server or even the old server currently in<br>use.<br><br>On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 3:25 PM, shawn bright <<a ymailto="mailto:shawn@skrite.net" href="mailto:shawn@skrite.net">shawn@skrite.net</a>> wrote:<br>> Hey all,<br>><br>> We have been using a TDM400 card at work to provide our IVR.<br>> We we have upgraded our server and now require the
