A SPA122 ATA from Cisco might be useful as a gateway, they are cheap.
You?d be using it kinda in reverse, but I don?t see why that shouldn?t
be possible.
Other than that, specialized cards have come down in prices, probably
because ppl aren?t using them anymore. You might also want to look
into Patton gateways, but they tend to be rather pricy and are a hell
to set up unless you?re familiar with all the phone-related stuff.
If your internet connection is decent, it might be a good idea to give
up the POTS line and use a VOIP provider instead, with a asterisk
connected to it. It would be the easiest way by far.
Asterisk isn?t too complicated for getting basic phone services to work
on which you can expand over time; you only need to overcome the few
first steps. Since a Centos package for asterisk is missing, you may
want to compile it yourself, which is easy. However, I had to disable
one of the drivers/features of asterisk in the build config because
there?s a bug that makes asterisk fail when that feature/driver is
enabled --- I left everything else enabled and don?t know what most of
the stuff is ...
The http://nerdvittles.com/ stuff I referenced earlier gives you the choice
of Installing on Centos 6/7, Debian 8 or Raspberry PI. They even have
virtual
box VM's available.
See http://wable-repo.wardmundy.net/incrediblepbx/ for a list of all of the
choices.
I?m not sure what you?re trying to say; I neither have a facebook account,
nor
a cell phone, and I don?t understand why cell phones aren?t VOIP clients that
can simply be used with asterisk.
I do not have a facebook account either. The first link above is simply a link
to Ward Mundy's semi weekly articles. If you scroll down the page you can
pick the articles that interest you. I ignore anything having to do with
facebook or self driving cars, etc.. Ward writes about many technical things
but tends to specialize in all things related to telephony.
The 2nd link allows you to pick out the type of pbx that interests you and then
points you to links to his articles that instruct you how to download and build
your choice of pbx. You just have to be care not to click on the stupid ads.
For instance http://nerdvittles.com/?p=14208 takes you to his article to build
"Introducing Incredible PBX 13 for CentOS 6 and 7"
