I've got a decent digium card and IP phones on the way now, and I
found a website that's willing to give you an incoming number up in
Iowa[1] if you're into that sort of thing, so I had enough to show
the folks what was what as far as replacing their fogey PBX system
with a Linux box running asterisk.
Now I'd like to get one of the them winmodem cards (or an honest to
goodness X100P card) for home playing with. A 129$ FXO/FXS card is
about 129$ over my home telephony budget, so I'd be willing to spend
a little more time dealing with echo cancellation there.
Thanks for the info.
