I don't understand what you mean.

To let Asterisk get calls from the phone network (POTS" a.k.a. PSTN),
you either need a phone line + PCI card or ATA to connect the PC to
the phone line, or you get a subscription with a VoIP provider which
will provide you with a phone number and ring your Asterisk box
through the Net.
