Hi there, I recently bought a business with an _old_ PBX - "SBX 6" <-- dates around 1987

I have a couple Soekris net4801 which I was going to use as firewalls but with new phone setup needed I thought.. Asterisk and a little box.

I have installed AstLinux for a little look and seems to go well with the hardware and reviews have said it is capable of a fair bit more than I will be needing it for.

I have three lines coming into the business - one dedicated for EFT POS, once fax and one phone.  Currently the main phone in the office dials out of the main number where the workshop extension goes out via fax line.  So - only two phones but may add a cordless extension.  I am looking at using Yealink phones and finding a small PoE switch to drive them.

If I was to use the Soekris box as my Asterisk PBX does anyone have recommendations on kit to connect to the phone lines?  External or maybe I can take to the box with my grinder and use the internal PCI slot :)

thoughts?
