Paul,

If you go down the virtualisation route - yes you cannot use inboard=20=20
PCI cards, however as I tried to say in my previous post - the Sipura=20=20
SPA-3000 (or similar) lets you network attach the FXO,FXS=20=20
capabilities provided by the PCI Cards and integrate these with the=20=20
main asterisk VM.

I run my Trixbox on my =A399 dell server from way back.  I hardly
ever=20=20
need to go to the excellent trixbox web gui unless I need to tweak=20=20
something.
