Sounds much like what I want too.  With an analogue phone (via IAXy) for
the
Cisco's-got-too-many-buttons type people in my house ;)

Andy's guide is great, but I just found too much stuff that didn't really
apply to me for my particular setup (like I don't have any telephony cards
installed - YET!)

Hmmm.... Chris?  Sure he said he'd got one from Digium.

That's the sort of service I like :)  I shall also request 35 hours to
every
day :)

It mentions firmware 4.x and 5.x, currently 7.x is available.  It certainly
has really technical 79xx stuff on it though :)

I can get BT directory enquiries through the phone though - very impressive
and handy :)

It's apparently quite easy to write your own stuff - someone's already done
a directory in MySQL.  Weather info, news headlines etc. must all be quite
simple too if you have programming skills and some time [I lack the time
bit
ATM].
