asterisk users - Sep 2005 - Maximum number of Digium Trunk Cards

I've read several places that say you cannot have more than two 4 port
Digium T1/E1 cards, as it would overload the PCI bus.  Is that true?  If not,
what is the maximum number of cards people are putting into boxes?  If two cards
is the limit, am I right in understanding that the preferred way to support a
large number of users is to split out into multiple Asterisk servers, and then
use IAX to connect them all together?

 

Thanks,

 

James Texter

Or buy a T1/E1 card.
