Scrap any analog connections. Get a VOIP SIP adapter to handle analog. 
Setup VOIP to PSTN termination via one of the many providers. No need 
for TDM cards. Your system will work fine. I've done this on an old 
Pentium Pro with only 128MBs for a small system. You only need bigger 
hardware if you're going to add many more users. Two SIP phones is 
nothing.
