As far as hardware how many modems do you plan on running?
Multiport cards like Rocketport are easy to configure and
then there is cyclades but requires to the kernel to be
recompiled. I have used both and the Rocketport ISA seems to
be the more stable but cyclades PCI seems to have better
port speeds.
