I actually meant "switchvox" (just to make the content of my comment be
kosher), but in general, the OP should probably go with a "canned" solution
unless he wishes to get his hands dirty.

I agree that "FreePBX" would be the ideal flavor for him, but I am a 
recent convert to "Elastix".  Much tighter GUI, more included stuff (like 
hylafax and iaxmodem), and just overall a better stab at the whole 
integration.  After two horrid experiences with Trixbox Pro and my 
impression of Elastix over Trixbox CE I will never install another 
Fonality product.
