Any modern Linux, BSD (including OS X), or Solaris compatible computer
to run asterisk.

If you are using an ITSP (VoIP provider) you don't need any other
hardware than your network card.

If you have a PSTN phone connection, at the very least you'll need a
card (like Digium, Sangoma, Rhino, etc), or an external gateway (like
linksys, dlink, mediatrix, etc).
