[ale] Linux MicroPBX

[dhhoward at comcast.net (Daniel Howard)]

Now that I have free international calling to most of Western Europe 
courtesy of Vonage (esp. France where we have lots of family members), 
I'm wondering if I could set up a micro PBX in the house.  I have Vonage 
and Comcast VOIP lines in the home.  Could I use an old PC and something 
lighter weight than Asterisk whereby I could call home on my Comcast 
VOIP phone with my cell phone and command the PBX to call France and 
connect the calls?  I know I could likely do this with a cellphone that 
does the web using Skpe but most of our French family and friends do not 
have PCs nor ISPs at home, and the Vonage calls are a lot more clear.

Any thoughts?  This would be great for someone who had Vonage for office 
line and had a basic BellSouth (now ATT) home service with no long 
distance on it.
