If you want to get the best out of asterisk, go for SIP based phones=20
instead of analogue extension cards. Then you won't need any FXS=20
cards at all.

If you really need analogue extensions, Cisco do a SIP to POTs=20
adapter (model number escapes me) at a reasonable price, or you can=20
buy a developer kit bundle from digium which includes a 1 port FXO=20
and 1 port FXS card at reasonable cost.
