Get three PCs and a download and install asterisk on one of them.  On 
the other two PCs install the OS of your choice and find a freeware 
softphone that supports SIP or IAX2 and install that.  Configure the 
phones to point to the asterisk machine and then configure the asterisk 
machine to handle the phones.  Use Asterisk at Home and you should be able 
to take the next 364 days off.

Thanks,
Steve
