Hardware usable for Asterisk

Digium X101P (Intel DSP) FXO card.
Digium TDM400P with 4 FXS cards.
Digium TDM400P, with 2 FXO and 2 FXS cards. The red are FXO, the green FXS. And mind you, this configuration will NOT work. FXO cards have allways to be mounted from the last slot to the front. FXS cards allways from the front slot to the last. So I had to swap the modules after I made the pictures. Just to be able to make the TDM card work.
AVM Fritz! PCI ISDN card (CAPI support)
Typhoon HFC-S based ISDN card
Billion HFC-S based ISDN card
 
Sangoma 2 port PRI card

Specs:
  • Fits 2U height
  • 3.3v and 5v
Virbiage USB Phone for the FireFly softphone

This little fella comes quite handy, when you are in a hotel or anywhere, where internet access only can be gained via login through a portal page.

First of all FireFly supports the IAX2 protocol, which is a lot less hassle with firewalls, second of all, there aren't too many, if at all, VoIP phones out there, with a browser. But often you would need that for authentification before you can gain internet access.

This little mate is one of the solutions, another one would be a headset of any kind (regular, usb or bluetooth).
Digium S100I (alias IAXy)
This is a preproduction model though.
Grandstream HandyTone 286. Simple ATA to connect to ethernet and a pstn phone.
And the big brother: Grandstream HandyTone 486. Same thing, but includes a full NAT router.
Grandstream BudgetTone 102. The difference between the 101 and the 102 are the PC ethernet port, meaning you can unhook you PC and patch it through the phone, not needing an extra port.
Personally I think this phone is a bit clumsy, big, not really usable for a business, but not bad for a home. It's certainly handicap friendly. It also is pretty good value for the money it costs.
Cisco 7960
Very good professional business telephone, support SCCP, MGCP or SIP depending on license you bought. Unfortunatly Cisco's licensing is a nightmare on pricing.

One of my Asterisk boxes.
Specs:
  • Pentium III 600 MHz
  • 256 MB Ram
  • 18 GB SCSI disk
  • 2 HFC-S based cards (1 TE, 1 NT-mode)
  • 1 TDM400P (4xFXS)
  • 1 Teles 16.3c PnP ISDN (as d-channel analyzer, good for debugging ISDN issues).
The blue card with the power connector is the TDM400P, the two small before that the HFC-S based cards.
The gateway at home:
2 HFC-S ISDN cards, Quad FXS card (TDM400P) and Prism 2.5 WLan card running HostAP.

I used to have a USB adsl modem on that, too. The blue thing in the USB port is a Dazzle Zio! SD-Card reader with a SD-Card in it. A bit slow to boot, but more reliable in the long run than a harddisk would be, as long as you only are reading from the card. The plan is to remove the harddisk completely and only boot from SD-Card or CF.
