Don't forget that IF you have NO card, you need to roll ZTDUMMY into the compile. With no card though, you will not be able to read the incoming CLID

Also, IF you ever want to progress beyond the X100 card, The Digium cards ( beyond your present budget ( are really intolerant of older PCI buses.
Sangoma works with MANY more motherboards.

cheapy PC (throw away PII is fine) and if you want to use the PSTN, a X100P FXO card. These can be had on ebay for 11 bucks, but I understand that even that pushes the bank some days. You don't need the card, you only need it if you want to receive or place calls on the PSTN. You can use asterisk to do all sorts of ip telephony with just the box that it runs on. Also, be sure to grab the free Oreily book, Asterisk the Future of Telephony. A link to it was posted recently.

IF I wanted to do the whole "sophisticated telephony VoIP stuff"
asterisk, what hardware would I need?  I have a feeling that my fax
modem is probably not going to work out.  My wife and I have an income
of $650 a month.  After the first-of-the-month bills are payed, we're
lucky if we have $100 left for food and gasoline.  I need a solution
that's as economical as possible.  What exactly do I need in terms of
hardware (preferrably specific as in brand names and model numbers)?
