Well, you're in luck.  The folks at O'Reilly have put together a little
guide showing just what you're looking to do.  You can find it at:

I agree with Marco - SJPhone is a good simple SIP softphone.  X-lite is  
also popular and has a few more features, but is a little more bloated  
(slower).  You can find info about setting up these phones for use with  
Asterisk on the Wiki - http://www.voip-info.org/

There are many other softphones listed here:
