Hi Guys
I am looking to build me a PBX box and I need to know what kind of card I need to run a RJ45 ip phone (POLYCOM SOUNDPOINT IP Phone) and also I need to know what card I need also for fax.

Hi Dont get me wrong here but you have been asking questions like this over a year ago, surely since then you have read up on voip systems. Down load a copy of the Future of telephony and read it cover to cover. It will answer all you questions.

OK
From your questions its obvious you have done little or no research but here we go

None , RJ45 is only the physical specification of the Plug and socket.

Asterisk in it raw format does not support fax reception. from zap channels you can forward fax to a fax extension. To do this you would need a zapata based interface card.
