Hi Ira, Buy from the web - just make sure you are not putting phones together with PCI cards as they tend to get it delayed in the customs.
For the 100X(P) models I would go searching in EBay, I got mine for 10$ works great in the last year. For the Analog Digium cards, double check and recheck that you are getting the right models, it was quite annoying to find out that you got the FXS when you wanted FXO... About the phones, there are many, cheap and simple, or real nice with massive deployment etc, it all Depends what you need. For Home, I would go with one of the low costs, or maybe wait for the Snom 300. For the rest, well, I evaluated about 10 different phones, and Snom was the best in all categories...

For lack hair to pull out, I resort to biting my nails instead (metaphoricly). Everybody is into Asterisk lately. it's great, it's cool, it's the real deal, it's the future. It's also impossible to find the needed hardware in this country!!! I've been looing for over a week! I've asked Xorcom (no FXO yet), and Alyne (no PCI cards, only a LAN box that's a little expensive). Asterisk.org.il tells me to call Dimitel (whose site is dead, and their phone switch just hangs up on me or records voicemail nobody answers). The rest of the mavens tell me to import my own card. Is that it? Nobody importing Digium? Sangoma? All I need are two FXSs and two FXOs. not a PRI, not the moon, not a breakthrough in cancer research. Just an importer that passes the cards through the MoC regulations and customs, keeps a stock and replaces defective hardware on the spot if/when excrement happens to have a collision with the Zalman. Any pointers appreciated... ----- while we're on the subject of VOIP. any good source for VOIP phones? what about ethernet switches supporting power over ethernet?
