Sure, if you're running Asterisk or something similar you can handle and
route your calls any way you want. This isn't so much about VoIP per se as
about having control over what happens with your phone calls, which happens
to be much easier (cheaper) with VoIP.

Nowhere - it's a unix program. If you have an old computer lying around and
you don't need anything that's currently on its hard drive, you can download
a CD image that will automatically install Linux and Asterisk onto it.

Well, actually you can download it from the link on this page:

but what it actually does is dynamically set up a fake little virtual Linux
environment when you run it.
