Why are you even looking at VoIP? Analog ports and phones are pretty cheap. They are not "pretty", but they are cheap and all the smarts are in the PBX.
Free calls to the US, basically, since the leased line is dirt cheap to run. ie. the purpose of the exercise is to save money not spend it.
I don't define the parameters, just work with them... I happened to mention I was interested in VOIP at the wrong moment and got landed with the task. TBH for what they need they could save a bundle by routing the calls through a cheap analogue telco (eg. call18866) and forgetting VOIP for a few years until it becomes commodity hardware.

Well, that's easy enough. Set an * server up and plug one (or more) of your existing analog outbound lines into the * server. Then, set your Analog PBX up to route calls that begin with say *8 or whatever via the * server. Normal calls go out over PSTN, "cheap US LD" could then be dialed as *81NXXNXXXXXX.
You can do this with analog cards from Digium or with ATA-186's or one of the many other "ATA" type devices.
