Go to asteriskathome.sourceforge.net and download A at H. Be  
*****VERY******* *****VERY***** *****VERY***** careful with the CD  
you burn, though, as when booted it will erase your hard drive and  
install CentOS ***WITHOUT WARNING****

Other than that, it is a very good way to replace a PBX for an office  
of that size. Of course, you will need to select phones, server  
hardware, PSTN interconnect hardware, etc. as well. Considering how  
important phones are to the average business, you might want to  
consider hiring a consultant (might I recommend <cough> <cough> me?)  
to help get you up to speed. It's just a thought, but getting help  
from someone who has already done this might keep you from making a  
few expensive mistakes (ie: buying equipment that is over/ 
underpowered, unreliable, low quality, etc.)

If you choose to do it yourself, A at H, voip-info.org, and this list  
will be your best tools.
