Here's a question: why are you building your hobby box? To gain practical experience? Then forget the X100: it's like learning Windows NT: yeah, the information might be somewhat valid today, but it's way obselete. The X100 is dead, and very unlamented. If you're just trying to build a fancy answering machine with no other purpose, then fine: waste time on the X100. But if there is any purpose to this, forget the X100P.
This coming from the guy with 3 of them on the shelf, collecting dust, purchased for $100 each!

You've got three choices, really, on the low end:
Digium TDM400 with one FXO port: $130
Sipura SPA-3000 with one FXO and one FXS: $100
Grandstream Handytone 486 with one FXO and one FXS: $80
Yes, you *can* buy an X100P clone for like $10 plus S&H on eBay. Don't. You could get just as much experience if you took the $15 you'd spend on the stupid thing and give them to a VoIP provider like Junction Networks or TelIAX and use it.

Seconded.
