An Asterisk PABX is a Linux box that handles the telephony interfaces via PCI cards. Digium sells many different types of these. For connecting Asterisk to a single, ordinary telephone line, a 'FXO' card is required. Digium's FXO card is called the Wildcard X100P which retails for $USD100.
An alternative exists however, from Digitalnetworks, here;
This is an equivalent FXO card, that works with Asterisk, for $USD18.50 - it doesn't come with steak knives.
Im thinking about placing an order for a few of these FXO cards in case anyone else is thinking about them... divide the shipping charge or something.. email me back on or offlist if interested.
