cheapy PC (throw away PII is fine) and if you want to use the PSTN, a
X100P FXO card. These can be had on ebay for 11 bucks, but I understand
that even that pushes the bank some days. You don't need the card, you
only need it if you want to receive or place calls on the PSTN. You can
use asterisk to do all sorts of ip telephony with just the box that it
runs on. Also, be sure to grab the free Oreily book, Asterisk the
Future of Telephony. A link to it was posted recently.

The place where you made your stand never mattered,
only that you were there... and still on your feet
