If you use traditional PC hardware (ie with an available PCI slot) then you can use the TDM 4xx card from Digium. I had a TDM400p and it worked well enough, much better than the X101p. If you choose embedded hardware (Soekris, Alix, WRAP, etc) then you may not be able to add a PCI card. The external interffaces are necessary, like the Linksys SPA-2000/3000 series. These also work fairly well. They have the advantage of not requiring Zaptel. Nothing about your installation suggests that a traditional PC would be beneficial. In fact, "Beefy" would just me more power, heat & noise. Someone recently told me that the Alix 3C systems are $150 complete from www.mini-box.com. That would seem like a bargain, and ideal for your circumstance.
