Any decent off the shelf desktop computer purchased today should be ok for the kind of call volumes you're talking abnout.
You will need to buy a PRI data card which will cost Rs. 20-35 thousand rupees. Look at Sangoma or Digium cards. I personally would recommend Sangoma as seems to be better supported in freeswitch. *Also look at kookoo.in -- you might be able to achieve what you want.* I think the first thing you should do is understand the technology. After you do that, you will be in a better position to ask questions and see answers. Why do you look at reading a good book on freeswitch? See more answers inline below....
