I've not used AsteriskNOW, but have set up Trixbox CE a few times. I just
wanted simple key system functionality, which was straightforward.

There's an excellent guide
here<http://dumbme.mbit.com.au/trixbox2/trixbox2_without_tears.pdf>,
and
since Trixbox is just a pre-integrated bundle of asterisk + freePBX + etc,
it's likely that it would be useful to you even if you don't want to use
Trixbox.

I think it will be easier to learn your calling plan if you wipe (well,
save) the config you have now, start with extensions, get those working, and
then add trunks.
