Yah... that is where I started... which lead me to the asterisk.org site, which lead me to this list... and you are certainly right, it really is a huge amount of information (too much really!) I am hoping to get an idea of what I need for this project so I can go and read up on just those parts...

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?
