[Asterisk-Users] Hardware Recommendations

[David Ishmael]

I'm sure this has been asked more times than anyone cares to count, but I
want to make sure I get the right stuff. I'm installing Asterisk at home
solely to play with and learn VoIP (plus it sounds pretty cool so it has
that going for it too). Eventually all my phones (~4 of them) will go
through my Asterisk system. I've ordered my server hardware, here's what
I've got: 

Trinity GC-SL 
Intel 2.66 533MHz 
512MB PC2100 ECC 
WD 160GB IDE 

And some minor stuff (cdrom, floppy, etc.). Since this is strictly an
educational platform for one person, I would think that's more than enough
to handle my small number of calls. So I'm comfortable with that much...it's
the Digium hardware I'm struggling with. What I'd like to do is connect the
Asterisk PBX to my PSTN phone line so I think I need an X100P so I can make
and take external PSTN calls, correct? 

I don't own a digital phone yet, so I think I also need to get at least one
IAXy module for one of my analog phones (I'm still trying to figure out what
kind of digital phone to get, recommendations are welcomed there too). I
assume that any digital phone I get can talk to the PBX over Ethernet so I
shouldn't need additional cards for that. Am I way off base on any of this
or am I going in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Dave
