style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>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: </span></font></span><font size=1 face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Verdana'><br>
<br>
<span class=postbody1>Trinity GC-SL </span><br>
<span class=postbody1>Intel 2.66 533MHz </span><br>
<span class=postbody1>512MB PC2100 ECC </span><br>
<span class=postbody1>WD 160GB IDE </span><br>
<br>
<span class=postbody1>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? </span><br>
<br>
<span class=postbody1>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?</span></span></font><font
