I'm thinking about making the switch to a voip solution but I'm not sure how I should set it up with my existing network and land line phone setup.
I currently have a standard wired land line setup with one line, I have a home network setup using a dsl modem, a pc (running clark connect) and a switch as well as a wireless AP.
What do I need to make my existing phones work with a voip setup (what's the easiest way to do it or alternatively, what's the cheapest way to do it)?
I really would like to have an asterisk pbx (trixbox) but I think I need to get a basic understanding of voip first but how easy would that be to add to my network (I do have a windows server running as well and I could run trixbox through VM).
If I had to or if it makes more sense to buy voip phones what are some good recomendations for voip phones that don't require a pc connection and where is a good place to buy them (a broad price range would help)?
