This is primarily for personal use and possibly a second line for my business attempts (i'm disabled but would like to set up a small business, probably selling electronics kits) so i don't need a premium supplier like 8X8 (though they look excellent I really don't need "business class" service.

I'll probably be using a dedicated machine for this and a local caching dns server so a specific distro of linux would likely work fine for me.  I'll be using a headset connected directly to the computer most likely unless i find a cheap card to use a "standard" phone with it and would therefore like to use the computers internal speaker for "ringing".  I'll likely use an older, lower power machine possibly a P3 or P4  processor (to minize my power usage).

I've been using callcentric pre-paid and a Grandstream handyTone 286
(wired directly into my analog lines at the CPE junction). No need to
acquire a SIP phone that way.
