[asterisk-users] Question about hardware

[Todd- Asterisk]

Speaking of the X100P, I am going to setup an asterisk server next  
week for a friend's business to replace his aging system.  He  
currently has two voice lines and another line for the fax machine.   
I was looking at the Sangoma A20200D but that's pretty expensive...   
We're going to use Grandstream GXP's on desks...   Do I need hardware  
echo cancelation (I'm thinking of using a Dell 2.0 GHz machine)?

As Asterisk can handle fax, I was going to drop the 2nd voice line,  
have the phone company roll busy onto the current fax line, and use  
that as the second voice line.  Can I just use two of the X100  
cards?  Or is that asking for trouble?

thanks
    Todd
