I would like to use my desktops as phones. That means that my PCs
(both windows and Linux)
and Notebook Pro will need to be able to answer the call and allow us
to talk back.
Is what I am planning possible?
Not a problem at all. The setup for this can be quite involved - your
best bet would be going with a dedicated Asterisk distribution such as
Trixbox. It will install a Redhat based OS on a machine (wiping
everything else!) with all the asterisk goodies you'll need to get
started. www.trixbox.org has all the goodies.

Ditto what BB said but using Desktops as phone's is bad. The use of VoIP
should be transparent. Get dedicated VoIP handsets or the cheaper option
is to get an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter). Which allows you to use a
normal handset.
