I suggest you use a snom 100 IP hardware phone to try and eliminate the
need whatsoever for a remote side computer. You had mentioned that you
would need to support remotely. Nothing is easier to support than an
appliance that you set up and cycle power if it misbehaves.

So to reiterate your drawing.

handset -> tdm10b -> * -> DSL -> internet -> 64k -> snom.
PSTN -> X100P -> /

The only question here is how do you get the 64K side, and how to deal
with it. I'm guessing since it is 64K that it is ISDN. If true, do you
have something like an ascend router on it? Something that would produce
a ethernet port? If not a linux or windows machine with NAT ability
would be fine. The Snom would then connect all the way back to your PC
running asterisk.
