VOIP Solution Using TrixBox By Pak Sheikh
Here's my configuration (perhaps mostly for geeks, but hopefully also for anyone who's interested): I started with an old IBM desktop system with a 20GB hard drive, connected it to my local network. From there, I decided to use the FREE trixbox PBX all-in-one telephony system; because trixbox (which is based on CentOS 5.4 and Asterisk) has all the software you need to run anything from a simple home phone system all the way up to an enterprise-level call center.
Installing trixbox on the hardware was amazingly easy - I popped the CD in, rebooted, and it did the rest. It took care of installing the operating system, the phone system software, and all of the other packages I could ever want. When it was done, it pointed me to a web interface that I could use to administer the system from there.
