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.
