386's and phone lines

 Today's question is for any hardware specialists out there. The reason I am
posting this under Xenix is becuase We're looking to run SCO Xenix (Which
I've heard is widely used) on a generic (made in the back room of the store)
386. What we're trying to do is make this 386 accept 10-12 incoming phone 
lines at once. Santa Cruz informs me that there is no problem on their end 
(Unlimited, but in practice only about 24 users/lines for best results) how-
ever the man I spoke with mentioned something vague about "8-port boards".
Anyone ever hear of such a beast for a 386 with the standard PC 8 and 16 bit
card slots? Any brand names you make/distribute/recomend? 
 
          Thanking you in advance...
