Depends how your lines are provided, I would hope that if you have 44
lines coming into a single building then it would be some sort or
PRI(ISDN30/DAS2) line.

In which case you would need one of the Digium cards for PRI lines.

Check out the hardware page on the asterisk site.

44 IP phones, your usual structured cabling and a server beefy enough to
handle all of the relevant traffic.
