asterisk users - Jul 2004 - Using Asterisk with fiber optic

Hi, I'd like to use PSTN and analogic telephone with a Asterisk server which
works on a LAN connected to the outside with fiber optic, on which voice
stream passes too. Do I need some particular solution, some particular card
to make it works or I just need a Digium or similar fxo card?

Thanks,
Bob

The fiber is connected through a hag, in which voice stream is digitized
in IP traffic and labeled as voice using MPLS.

I think is GigEthernet, I'm from Italy and I use Fastweb, I don't know
if
you know it. What kind of difference does it?
