1) A digium FXO card ($100) will do. Works great for me, ymmv. ~$100. My system is running on a Celeron 2.7GGhz with 256 of RAM and the processor never really blips. I'd say a ~1 GHz would be plenty enough for one or two channels. 2) $10 Walmart Special connected to a $100 Sipura SPA-2000. The Sipura gives you 2 FXS ports (=two extensions) bringing the cost of an analog port to $50/each. Any analog phone will do... I have two cordless, two SWB "Freedom Phones" ($9.95, with caller-id) and a couple of Aastra 390s (refurbed from ebay, $40ish) because of their excellent speakerphone. 3) Dunno, I do POTS and VOIP only.
