http://asterisk.org/  ... with lots of supplemental info at http:// 
www.voip-info.org/ (including setup examples, phone hardware lists  
and reviews, service providers).

i have asterisk setup to send toll-free calls (800, 866, etc) out  
over dsl to freeworlddialup, local calls (617, etc) go out over my  
POTS line. there are also 'live cds' with asterisk that you can boot  
and try out.
