I'm currently attempting to wean myself off of all Google services. This is mainly because I would prefer not to have all of my eggs in one basket. Replacing Gmail and Google Calendar was easy enough, but now I've hit a wall trying to replace Google Voice. I've been on Google Voice practically since its inception, and I use it to take all of my calls and to send and receive all of my SMS. I can't seem to locate any information on how to set up a similar service that is self-hosted. I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount for the phone bridge portion of the service, but I would like, if possible, to store the data on my own server (open source is a plus, of course). Suggestions?

    Obviously too much beer. That's an inefficient regex, for replacing the single instance of "lap" with "face".
