You could have used a system that is a bit less powerful. But anyway, I guess that those are not that expensive nowadays. For that kind of load, even a much smaller server would do. > > I > >want 4 IP phones connected to the ethernet network.

The SPA3102 has both an FXS and an FXO port. What you need is an FXO port - a port to connect to the PSTN as a phone. An FXS port allows you to connect an analog phone. It is something you could have used for local extensions.
