I'm thinking about buying a Digium X100P FXO. My end goal is to use a Linux box with Asterisk and make myself a H323 gateway to use with my CCM 4.1(2). Can anyone please advise on the following:
The product specs for the X100P card say "analog". What does that mean? The phone line on which I plan to hook up the X100P has DSL service, so I'm guessing it's not an analog line, but rather a digital one. Will the X100P do the job or do I need something else.
 
Not familiar with the Digium specifically, but in general "analog" devices work just fine on DSL lines, though the Telco does usually recommend line filters. When they mention "analog", I'm pretty sure they are referring to the fact that its not a digital circuit with smartjacks, etc.
