[...] I was (somewhat) following a dicussion about high speed communications handled over the PCI bus, and there's a company that makes T1/T3-level serial cards for PC's, and from what they were saying, there's no way to reach even a full T3 worth of bandwidth on a PCI bus, so I think trying to push an OC-# connection over it might be pushing it a bit ;)

This doesn't sound right. As some random data point, we have run ~70 Mbps (ttcp) using ATM as well as Fast Ethernet between 133 MHz Pentiums. I suspect that a faster Pentium would fill an OC-3c ATM link. -tjs
