asterisk users - May 2015 - Asterisk as "Proxy" and more device for a number

Hi list!

I'm very new in Asterisk and VoIP, and of course I have a problem... :)

Well, my problem is, that Deutsche Telekom wants me to change my ISDN  
to VoIP... :(
I must do that, since I have no alternative.

Well, I have now two VoIP-phones (Thomson ST2022 and KE1020A). I can  
configure my two numbers by Deutsche Telekom and I got now an extra  
number from Messagenet.it.

Now the problems:
1) It seems that I can't configure my ST2022 to have two profiles and  
both are running on different servers
2) I want that when a number will be called, both phones rings

I think, I need an Asterisk-Server between my phones and the  
VoIP-Provider, isn't it?

Well, now the questions: am I right? Should I install an Asterisk on  
my PC to do that?
And of course: how can I do that? How can I set up Asterisk to serve  
as "proxy" for these three numbers and send the calls to a number to  
both phones?

Unfortunately, I didn't found any HowTo for my problems...

Thank you very much for your help!

No, German law says that there is a right to have a phone line, but that is not
valid for an
internet connection. Keep your BRI connections as long as
possible.

A B2BUA (back-to-back user agent) like Asterisk can be very helpful, regardless
of whether you
add ISDN or not.

Better install it on a dedicated server. At home, a Raspberry box might suffice.
You might as
well integrate it into your router, or parts of it (e.g. when using
pfSense).

By learning. It's fun. Start with something simple, e.g. with
http://asteriskdocs.org/ . You
main problem will be your NAT-Router, but you'll find out soon....

If you want to go the Asterisk from scratch route, you would do well to 
pick up a book on the subject. Since you seem comfortable with English, 
"Asterisk: The Definitive Guide" is a good place to start. This will
teach
you how to build an Asterisk system from the ground up. Depending on what 
you want to do, this may also be overkill.

There are Asterisk distributions that already come with a GUI front end 
that could make this all a lot easier to set up. AsteriskNow (includes 
Asterisk and FreePBX Gui) is a good choice as would be Elastix (Asterisk + 
FreePBX GUI + the Elastix GUI). These are often much easier to set up for 
the Asterisk newbie. Either of those should be able to easily handle what 
you want to do.

Even if you do go the route of a pre-made distribution with a GUI, the 
Asterisk book is still useful to have. It really gives great insight into 
the software and will help if you ever have to troubleshoot from the 
command line.

Maybe I got it...
I installed an asterisk on a VM with Ubuntu 10.04 and I got it connecting to
another Test-VM with AsteriskNOW and with an italian VoIP-provider.
The very difficult was to understand, that my phone just can manage ONE
profile at time, so I had to configure Asterisk to receive all calls from the
different providers an send them ONE profile (on my phone).

Next step is to configure Asterisk for the other phone (for my wife) and
having all calls of her number forwarded to my phone and her phone.

Next step again is to manage outgoing calls going to the right provider.

Then it would be nice if I can forward calls from a phone to the other.

Last but not least, I need to use HylaFAX on an account on Asterisk.
I had many problems with T38Modem, so I'll try with IAXModem, maybe I'll
got
it...
