Asterisk

Have any of you guys had any experience of setting up a Asterisk system for a small company?

I came across Asterisk whilst browsing the intrenet and I think this would be a good skill to obtain as it would seem this technology could become very popular in the near future.

I have a few questions regarding Asterisk

1) Was it easy to setup? I just bought myself a O'reiley book on the subject which I intend to plow through soon.

2) What was your setup like and what hardware did you use.

3) Do I have to use telephones? Can I use mics and use like a software phone where the user keys in the numbers via computer.

4) how do you get voicemail to send to user's emails

5) what the hell is SIP? I know it's a protocol but what does it do?

Many Thanks
