Hi
Which is the best interface card to connect PSTN line with Asterisk. Can somebody please help. My intention is to route the incoming PSTN calls to internal IP Phones through Asterisk and Vice versa. The Asterisk is in LAN and is reachable from all the IP phones in the LAN.
Thanks
Manoj

Digium PSTN cards seem to work.

That's a wide open question. How many lines? What kind of lines? What country are you in? What options are availible to you?
I only have three incoming lines for a soho Asterisk install. I decided on a T1 card and picked up a used channel bank on ebay. Not the cheapest way, but it has served me very well.
You are not going to get much help unless you define the problem better.

Sangoma as well.
Also ATA's such as what used to be called the Sipura 3000
Cisco 3810's with SIP IOS will give you up to 6 analog ports, and on the
really low end, if you can still find an X100 card, at least for US PSTN
lines.

HI,
OK, I'm going to chime in on this one as I am going to set up an
Asterisk system for our volunteer ambulance service. As a part of the
Emergency Services we need to maintain a POTS line as redundancy and due
to the fact that with an old style phone I don't need power for the
phone to work. I plan on using a SIP provider for the rest of our phone
needs. If not for the emergency services part I would go completely SIP
based.
Anyway I would need a FXO/FXS card for use in the US. Only one line so
I don't need any of the fancy 4 line systems. I have heard you can use
certain modems to do this but I would like what I am doing to be
seamless and not require hacking at a problem for hours to save $50. I
just want it to work quick and easy. I am unsure what you mean by "What
kind of lines?" and "What options are availible to you?". Maybe that is
part of asking this question, to get some info about the phone system too.

You have defined what you are going to do, basically a small system and only need one POTS line. You could also use an ATA to convert a POTS to SIP to go into the Asterisk box. That would probably be a more supportable solution as those devices don't appear to be disappearing off the market like that modem solution is. Then if in a couple of years, lightening takes out the converter, you have a purchasable solution.
