How can I build my dream home telephone system?

BoltonMinx

I've finally gotten my BT telephone line installed side-by-side with my NTL telephone line and its time to start some seriously geeky stuff.

So, Ive got an ansaphone and a digital cordless phone, each plugged into different phone lines. Also have a sipgate account, an ADSL VOIP router, two orchid diallers and a yen to inter-connect the lot.

Basically, I want to end up with my own cheap-as-chips PABX/PBX where a call to any of my lines comes through to a real phone and a call from any of my real phones is routed via the cheapest provider.

Any ideas?

It would be lot simpler just to dream of having a single handset as your phone system...

Once upon a time, I dreamt the same .. I've had Orchird dialer, Voip ATA, two DECT phones .. and thinking of going for asterisk .. I failed miserably .. Now, I'm happy with my Linksys SPA3000 .. NTL & Sipgate for incoming calls, VOIPStunt or NTL for outgoing .. nothing fancy, I need to prefix my NTL call out.. asterisk is the answer .. but it way to complicated .. even for techie person like me
