[Asterisk-Users] I stumbled on this list...

Asterisk may or may not fit your purpose, I think that if you only want to 
call US/Canada/Asia, your best bet is a packet 8 DTA with unlimited calls 
to some asian countries for 50$, to which, you route a 1800 number through 
a 1800 number provider. Alternatively, for the 800 number, you can use 
Nufone's iax termination. or voicepulse with maybe digium hardware or sip 
phones... all depending on your needs
