I bought an X100p card from an eBay seller in the USA and I live in the 
UK. If you can use eBay or something similar why not do that? I am 
guessing that your PSTN will be similar to the rest of the world as most 
Telcos use one of only three vendors' switches.

This one: 
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130213890766 looks 
O.K. albeit a little more expensive. This is the kind I bought as it has 
a low profile bracket so it would fit in a small PC case.

If you use a card like this, get the OSLEC echo canceller and they work 
a treat!

Hope this helps

Alan

(PS - There's some info on my blog - link below - about setting up a 
small asterisk home PC and getting OSLEC to work etc...)
