Hello GillesToo,
Asterisk "X100P" is just Intel IA92 WinModem. This is the so-called "clone" X100P, you can buy it on ebay for 15$ I used this last time like 5 years ago :) Main problems you'll face is echo and detecting line states (when remote party hangup or pick up a call)
XP100 clones that you can buy cheap works decent if you use OSLEC line echo cancellation ( http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/oslec.html#install ). Obviously, that will not give you the reliability, call flow analisys, etc you can get from a "real" telephony card, or better an ATA, but you can experiment with it and see if it can satisfy your needs (using OSLEC for zaptel).
