Asteriks! What i need?
 

Hello, i just installed a Connectiva Linux on a PC and want to know
what i need to run Asteriks. I already have two Sipura SPA-2000, a
network, a router and a adsl internet.

- To connect to the network/internet i need only one ethernet card?
- To connect to the PSTN i need a regular modem? Can i add more to
have more connections to the PSTN on the same computer?

After that i only need to get more ATAs to use as "braches" of my
system?

Thanks
Tony

Yes.

No, you need a analog-port card, like

Yes. Put more of the x100p cards into the system.
Or use some of the other boards, as seen on

e.g. the
