A local Asterisk server is the best way to do this.  That being said,
the WRT54G and all of the other WiFi APs that can run dd-wrt or
Openwrt can actually be Asterisk servers.  I have done it but never
went so far as to register a single phone.  Not sure how it would
scale.

Question for Michael Graves (or anyone that can answer), I have two
big boxes of old HP thin clients.  What do you do to recycle them?

Thanks,
