That seems reasonable.  Mythbackend doesn't need X, right?  Hmmm... now 
that you mention it, I do have a fair amount of extra capacity on my 
asterisk box.  Might be a nice way to set things up.  Especially if/when 
I add a second PVR card to my setup.

I've always thought the SPA-3000 seemed like an elegant way to go.  I 
bought my x100p when I first started experimenting with Asterisk.  I 
really like the "free" (after rebates, from Staples) spa-2000 clones 
(they're actually Linksys PAP2s) I'm using for FXS ports.
