Wow! Thank you so much, James - you have certainly
clarified lots of things in my mind. You are correct
about me overlooking the feedback issue (with the
el-cheapo device). I see that I have to learn. This
world of VoIP is new and mind boggling - to me.
Thanks,

Lynn,
If I understand you question correctly, you would need:
A computer (preferably a server) to run Asterisk
An analog interface card such as the Digium TDM400P
An analog phone line (POTS)
An analog (real) phone
Calls would come in on the POTS line, get answered by Asterisk. Callers would
Lynn,
What you need is an ATA (analog telephone adapter). The ATA is a SIP or IAX
extension on your Asterisk box, and your standard phone plugs into it.
Asterisk sends the call to the SIP extension (the ATA), and the ATA rings
your phone. On the flip side, your phone dials normally and the ATA

Yes, you understood correctly. Thank you - and all
others who replied so quickly - for your precise and

Hi Lynn,
You can use a Linksys SPA-3102 for both FXO (POTS) and FXS (phone)
connection instead of a Digium card. The price is around $90-100.
Almost any old PC will do if it can run Linux. There are also other
alternatives to a PC such as the Linksys WRT54GL. I use a Linksys NSLU2

Lynn,
I am unfamiliar with soho-pbx, so I cannot comment on quality, service,
configurability, etc. They are based out of Hong Kong, and their box is
probably already running some flavor of Asterisk, so you would need nothing
additional except for the phone line coming in and the telephone.
This is what I have at home and it works okay. I also added an SPA-2002
(~$70) that adds another two FXS (phone) ports for a total of three.
Godspeed,
Phil

Do you think you'll outgrow 1 phone line any time soon. If so You'll
want something that you don't have to completely redo when you add the
next line. That digium card you linked to has 2 more expansion slots
open for more lines or phones.
