The X100P is going to leave you fairly unsatisfied with your Asterisk 
experience.  It lacks an on-card timing interface, and real X100P's 
haven't been made in quite awhile (several years).  You may or may not 
get caller ID, you may or may not get two way audio.  I know it's a bit 
more but you're better off with the TDM.  Good luck!
