Ah if you meant fxo cards (pstn to voip) as I suspect, then good usb options still exist but are more expensive (£100 and upwards) and are not open hardware afaik.

Hi, I'll be in the space shortly for some Asterisk hacking and being angry at things, including but not limited to, the Counter Terrorism Bill. Feel free to come along and help out with the Asterisk hacking. I have no idea what I'm doing for the most part, so this could be a nice learning experience. We will likely throw this prototype away later when we move it to better hardware so it doesn't matter if we make a mess of it.

Re: [57north-discuss] Saturday hacking
Aye, was wondering about that. The open usb fxs has progressed nicely. The board is recognized by Asterisk as a Dahdi device as any pci fxs card would be. Not sure in costs, but it was ment to be cheap. Cheers, Ed On 24 Jan 2015 20:09, Iain R.

For FXO we don't need them to be USB. Cheap Linksys SIP ATAs are available and will work fine. It's the FXS that is the problem, to allow incoming calls from the PSTN.
