[TriLUG] Suggested Asterisk voip setup

[John Broome]

You're going to need as many FXO ports as you have lines, if you
aren't using any analog phones you won't need any FXS ports.  I like
the polycom phones and digium cards.

I've gotten (although that implies i wasn't lazy before..)  lazy and
started using the trixbox distro for my asterisk needs, I haven't
really had an issues with either amd/intel for low call volume stuff.
