SIP providers, VOIP phones, and Linux

[Tyler Aviss]

My girlfriend does a fair bit of long-distance and international
long-distance calling. We've actually moved out of Toronto so some of
the cheaper VOIP providers aren't necessarily available, but I was
thinking that it might make more sense just to pick up a standalone
wifi/VOIP phone and do things myself.

However, I'm not really sure about where to get started on it all.
I've got a lower-consumption 'nix server that runs pretty much
constantly which could handle the software angle of things, but what
would I do to get connected with a dialout # and, further to that, how
would I then tie that into a VOIP phone (or heck, even do it with the
VOIP phone and not needing the server).


Any ideas/suggestions?
