Hi Pawan,

It vey much depend on what you expect the box to be handling....
As you wrote: soho + R&D, i presume it will be anoccasional call.

Personally, i would recommend to leave the analogue stuff out of your
PC. (no hassle with pci-slots, shared-IRQ's, PSU, ....)
Leave the handling of analogue-parts to an ATA-box.
Linksys (and others) are making those at reasonable prices (Cheaper than
an analogue card)
