Yep, you can definitely do that with Asterisk(NOW). Unless you have
other plans for voicemail, meetme conferences, or other fancy asterisk
things, it might be a little overkill, though. You could also do the
same thing without asterisk using sip clients connecting direct to one
another.
As far as the AsteriskNOW setup: You could put in dummy values for the
provider, and figure out your site to site connection settings later.
