I'm new here but have to go ahead and throw in a reply - I'm doing
something very similar to this but in a different way... I have a
FreeBSD box that is already set up to be my router/firewall/IDS/MySQL
server.  I'm working on getting it set up with Asterisk... just got it
working with FWD and a Packet8 DTA based phone.

I have to admit, there's a lot of stuff to wrap your head around with
this stuff!
