Ok, I assume you want this all on one box.  I'm also assuming you're
attaching the modems to the same server, if not just subtract the serial
cards and modems...  I recommend you look at a decent PIII, or even a P4
these days.  What you get depends on what you can afford, but I'd stick a
half gig of ram in there (at minimum, 256m), 80g HD.  MB depends on the
CPU you get.  In any event get the best you can and it will last a while.
(FWIW you can run FBSD with a stack of modems on a lot less, I just pulled
a terminal server out of service I installed years ago - running FBSD on a
386/40!).

To hang the modems off the server, check out Digiboards, or even cyclades.
I have used both with a lot of success.  USR modems work well.
