[asterisk-users] Question about hardware

[Michael Sullivan]

IF I wanted to do the whole "sophisticated telephony VoIP stuff"
asterisk, what hardware would I need?  I have a feeling that my fax
modem is probably not going to work out.  My wife and I have an income
of $650 a month.  After the first-of-the-month bills are payed, we're
lucky if we have $100 left for food and gasoline.  I need a solution
that's as economical as possible.  What exactly do I need in terms of
hardware (preferrably specific as in brand names and model numbers)?
