Cheap shot.

Digium does Asterisk FOR FREE.  They support themselves, which I hope 
you agree is a necessary thing, by selling hardware, one instance of 
which is the low-end X100P.

Essentially the X100P is a slightly modified generic voicemodem THAT 
COMES WITH CUSTOMER SUPPORT.  That is, along with its hardware 
functionality comes the ability to call up and get help if you encounter 
problems.

This list is intensely active, and the developers and others who provide 
advice here are necessarily limited in the amount of attention they can 
devote to (the often repetitive) questions coming from first-timers.

Stir into that mix a first-timer who is undercutting the profit model 
that enables Digium to offer us this wonderful software, and then 
sprinkle your obnoxious insult to the community on top, and you're going 
to find that people (correctly) tell you to go away and solve your own 
problems.

 From my perspective your primary problem isn't hardware; its your attitude.
