Get three PCs and a download and install asterisk on one of them.  On 
the other two PCs install the OS of your choice and find a freeware 
softphone that supports SIP or IAX2 and install that.  Configure the 
phones to point to the asterisk machine and then configure the asterisk 
machine to handle the phones.  Use Asterisk@Home and you should be able 
to take the next 364 days off.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

You only need a machine for asterisk, it can even be a pentium I.  Then u
can download softphones(there a millions available), and install these on
two other machines.  You can then have a conversation between the
softphones,, and the asterisk machine will do the call setup in the
middle.

You setup asterisk on one machine.  U do this by downloading asterisk
1.2.6 and zaptel.  For zaptel do: make linux26 && make install.  For
asterisk do: make && make install && make samples.  (Read the
install
docs) go to voip-info.org.  if the softphones you download a sip, then
configure two sip devices in sip.conf, then put correct extensions to dial
in extensions.conf.  (Read the sample .conf's)

thanks,
yusuf
