Concerning Asterisk, I'm curious just how much one has to do to use it
as a client system.  I looked over the docs and like you said Tyler, it
seems daunting.  Not sure where to really start.  It almost seems like
Asterisk may be a 747 being used to haul a bag of groceries or
something.  I really can't justify $200 for a desk phone at this point
in time.  Even after setting up the computer and such, does one still
have to sign onto a VOIP service somewhere? I would think you would have
to in order to get a dial-in phone number.
