Hello,

I have question before I'll buy x100p digium card.
Is it possible to use PCI X100p card on a virtual machine and connect it to regular pstn line ?, or maybe anyone know solution how to connect pstn line to virtual machnine asterisk.

Use a gateway - Obi110 if on a budget or Sangoma Vega gateway (or Grandstream) if not.

I *think* ESX is the only virtualization platform that can present random PCI cards to virtuals for their use, but even then there are lots and lots of caveats, and it is pretty brittle. As atsak recommends, use a networked gateway.

Thanks for your advice, but i'm afraid that it's impossible to find Obi 110 at polish market.

Buy in the UK and have shipped to Poland? Should be somewhere that can do it?

I cannot vouch for that device working 100% with any of the platforms as I've never tested it.
But what you are looking for is "PCI pass-through" which is available from most of the virtual platforms. Your mileage may vary.

I echo @GomezAddams sentiment, that it's fragile and may not work reliably. I would find a networked device. I've used the grandstream GXW4108 with reasonable success. Basically any FXO gateway would be better than PCI-passthrough
