	Yes, or the S100U, but the TDM400P is your best choice.

	It supports FXS signaling, and interfaces with FXO devices (ie. your
Telco).  (FXO devices uses FXS signaling, and vice versa)

	When you setup your Asterisk configuration, you'll have to keep this
signaling vs. interface stuff in mind.

No problem!  We all gotta start somewhere!
