John,  I've done something similar. I had a simple commandline
IAX phone running on a low powered computer (actually an NSLU2 -
but it could be any linux machine), driving a USB audio card. I didn't  
need
a keyboard, as it  auto answered incoming calls.

If you are interested, contact me off list, and perhaps I can help.

Tim.
