I set up an Elastix PBX with a VoicePulse.com SIP trunk. Elastix is Asterisk and free. The GUI looks pretty good and I was able to get everything set up in a couple of hours. I have never set up a PBX in my life.

I had an elastix box for a while and after watching a few vulnerabilities go unpatched and getting hacked twice I gave up on Elastix... http://www.elastix.org/en/component/kunena/116-security/6078.... Switched to PBX in a Flash and while its more secure, the user interface is clunky and requires you to use a number of custom closed-source scripts to keep everything up to date...

Thanks, the Asterisk suggestion comes up a lot. I had a server like that in the past (more as a PBX and directly attached to the phone network, not using voip). Maybe that makes sense again.

VoicePulse.com is - inappropriate. They seem to be highly US centric (according to their plans and site) and I want to call from the Near East to Europe, mostly. So - not for me I guess.
