I plan to set up an Asterisk server later today or tomorrow to begin putzing and learning about it. Learn by doing...
 
I would like to cut thru some of the confusion that such a flexible system tends to breed by quickly describing my end goal and getting some input from the 'group mind' as to the pieces I should concentrate my efforts on.
 
We are a 5-person operation with 6 VOIP numbers an old-style POTS PBX (Vodavi Starplus 616EX) and a dozen 6-line desk phone stations. Rather than using a small bank of ATAs, we would like to use an Asterisk server to 'terminate' the VOIP lines and route them to both the Starplus desk phones and to softphones running on certain workstations. That is, a new incoming call would ring both the first unused line hooked to the Starplus and the first unused line on the softphones.
 
So... The question is... to get that to work, what sort of hardware do I need in the Asterisk box to turn the incoming VOIP calls into a two-wire POTS input for the Starplus PBX and what is a suggested softphone we can use with Asterisk?
 

Thank you for your time,
