I can not see that its illegal to have Asterisk in India. The TDM400P card should work fine - but it may not be approved to be interconnected to the phone system. (This never stopped me doing similar things).
I'm assuming that its possible to connect a 2-wire phone to the Indian phone system - ie - if you have ever bought a 2-wire phone from the USA and got it to work - then there should be no problem. In the UK - BT use a 3-wire system, the extra wire for ringing a bell... but actually provide 2-wire to the house. People seem to have little difficulty with the TDM400 there. I've had no problems all over Africa - you should be fine. Asterisk makes a great (cost wise) and highly functional PABX replacement. This in itself is reason to install Asterisk. The fact that it does VoIP as well is an additional bonus - just don't get caught using it? Up until the beginning of this year, VoIP was illegal in South Africa - never stopped most people. It is possible for telco's to monitor and even recognise and record 'voice' on the internet - but they usually look for common Codecs (u-law, a-law) and probably have better things to do.
