Of course, you +can use Asterisk with VoIP calls (SIP, H.323, IAX), but you can also talk +to the real PSTN through various cards. + +Supported Hardware is divided into two general groups: Zaptel devices and +non-zaptel devices. The Zaptel compatible hardware supports pseudo-TDM +conferencing and all call features through chan\_zap, whereas non-zaptel +compatible hardware may have different features. + +\subsection{Zaptel compatible hardware} + +\begin{itemize} +\item Digium, Inc.
