asterisk users - Aug 2009 - 2 single span TDM cards in asterisk

I need to add a second T1 to an asterisk system. However the first
card is in a PCI-e slot, and the only available slot is a PCI card.
Could that work?

TIA

Yes. There is no reason that the cards have to match in any way at all.

Technically, you should be able to run two cards in two different type 
slots with no problem. You will double the number of interrupts your 
system has to handle. Also if you have to route modem/fax calls between 
the two spans you may run into trouble since the timing could be 
different. In that case you'll want a timing cable (if the cards support 
it) or one dual-span card.
