again yes. Asterisk can be used as application server and PSTN gateway.

By using Asterisk of course you have to deal with the hardware yourself 
and be prepared that you have to update Asterisk regularly. Nevertheless 
Asterisk is really flexible and you can even add some features if needed 
- this can't be done with commercial products.

If you only need a dumb PSTN gateway I can also recommend Cisco As53x0. 
You turn it on, configure it and your are done - never had any issues 
with them - works like a charm and very reliable.
