PBX (phone systems)

anyone have any experience with pbx systems ?
I fancied one for work, need a couple more phones in, already have POE network so IP phones make it nice and easy
call recording would be handy for when someone writes an order down wrong etc.
caller id, then I can have a screen loading up saved callers details on screen when they call - if they owe anything, past orders etc. etc.
might as well have it be an answer machine too
only really need it to sit between the network and the landline, don't need any SIP features but they could be a bonus if I could have a dial 9 first for sip etc.
so I bought an old server... and an FXO card to plug it into the land line
running asterisknow, which installs CentOS and FreePBX
all seams really powerful/efficient... 5 min on google and there's people doing really cleaver things with it
but a good 12 hours on google and I still have no idea what I'm doing and can't get it to work
even bought an Asterisk for dummies book (just don;t tell anyone I bought a for dummies book)
the IP phones I bought are connecting to it, and I'm updating them via TFTP etc.
but so far that's all I can do
anyone any good with them ? - I'll come back with specific questions when I'm back at work :-)

I used it a long time ago & forgot it all.
Start by trying to assign an ext. number to a phone & only make internal calls.
would not worry about FXO card & external calls yet. You can add them later.
Also make sure the phones are compatible with Asterisk!
