Calling people and playing with phones. I have an internal Asterisk server for me and a few friends. The nicest thing is that when the phone rings, it's a person who I know, not a scam. (Unknown external numbers get direct to voicemail)

Also great for my friends' kids. They can call each other or their grandparents or whoever, without having to touch a cellphone that tries to distract them with YouTube or whatever.

My house uses mostly analog with the Adit 600 (6 lines, 3 using the 70s wiring in the wall, 3 dedicated to specific phones). Everyone else has cheap Polycom desk phones and uses SIP/RTP.
