Hello

You can install an Asterisk with a "mini-gateway" like 
http://www.grandstream.com/products/gateways-and-atas/analog-telephone-adaptors/product/handytone-503 
And is not so complex write a dialplan for the functions you say. There 
is many tutorial over the HT503 and Asterisk in the wild!

Hope helps you
