Asterisk and freepbx
I have searched the forums here. not finding much in the way of specifics.
Anyone have any pointers?

any help is appreciated.

I use straight-up Asterisk, so I can't say anything about FreePBX.
Let me know if you have any specific questions…
Good luck,

The nice thing about using Linode is that it's on a public IP wich, avoids a lot of problems related to NAT with SIP… Reliability is also much better if you have clients connecting from remote sites.

@mbsat:
I use VoipJet (IAX) for outbound calls, and Junction Networks (SIP) and Voxbone (SIP) for origination.
Interesting. Thanks. I use gizmo5 for inbound as well. I have a UK and US number through them. Only costs $4 per quarter. I checked out voxbone and they want you to register before giving a quote
I'm thinking of doing this. Right now my VOIP stuff is handled on my Nokia N95 handset when its in wifi range.
Polycom phones starting at around ~$90 and Linksys ATAs for ~$50 make it easy to get going. I highly recommend those two brands.

The mobile-to-mobile rate is doubled because basically you initiate a call from a web page and it calls your phone and the destination phone to connect them together. If your phone has wifi, that's not required.
The gizmo5 desktop client has an option to log into an Asterisk PBX although I've never tried it since I don't have one – yet.
