Hmm... given the application you are looking (basically providing some
sort of analog-voice circuit to digital bridge perhaps you could look
at some of the brooktrout type cards that can take 4/8 pstn/analog
voice circuits etc... these babies are used for voicemail systems and
the like and are designed to do the grunty stuff..
We have a old 486dx33 running OS/2 1.2 (no gui) with 4 of these cards
giving 16 voice circuits access to voicemail .. it does all the PCM stuff
and the 300mb drive can store hours and hours of messages...
