This is *exactly* what Asterisk is for -- and a billion other things.

You are not crazy, nor are you really re-inventing the
wheel.  You would be crazy to not read a lot more on the

Your diagram could use a little work, since Asterisk==PBX.

Try this:

analog phones <-> */PBX <-> INTERNET <-> */PBX <-> analog phones

That's being done right now by lots of people.
