Hi Doron,
Not knowing your technical background makes it difficult to define a specific
answer, but maybe a little info.
Short answer, I'm not aware of an x86_64 box with FXO/FXS ports.
Though a plain x86_64 box should work with a SIP voice network, we have some
examples in the docs:
Generic 64-bit, x86_64 Boards and Appliances
https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:documentation#generic_64-bit_x86_64_boards_and_appliances
Getting AstLinux running and functioning as a router/firewall/vpn is fairly
straightforward.
On the other hand, getting the PBX (asterisk) configured from scratch takes
some effort. We have tools to help configure phones and such, but getting the
first phone and upstream SIP provider configured takes time and research.
While PCIe cards that support FXO, FXS exist, some sort of SIP telephony
gateway device will also get you FXO/FXS with less trouble and more hardware
options.
An alternative to physical FXO, open an account with an internet SIP provider
and obtain a phone number and billing by the minute. Do the math, but is it
usually not expensive.
