I would suggest using a Sangoma 4 PORT FXO Card for the POTS Connection. For the end users your probably best off going with a decent IP phone. You also may want to look at the NEW Sipura 9000. IT's not quite out, but from what I understand it's a SME IP-PBX and I doubt it's to pricy.

I have a small branch office with 3 POTs lines and an aging key system. I am thinking about replacing this system with asterisk and am looking for some reccomendations. There are 3 POTs lines and I want then to terminate into the asterisk box. I want those lines to be available to all phones so when an employee makes a call it will grab an available line.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for reccomendations on hardware to interface between the phone company and asterisk and asterisk to the telepohe set. <br />
TELCO &lt;---&gt; Asterisk &lt;---&gt; Telephone<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
