Mapping regular phone numbers to VOIP

Is there any way to do this without leasing physical phone lines or running some sort of pbx? thanks

You can get analogue adapters (sipura SPA-2000 for example) and configure it to connect directly to a VoIP provider. You then can buy some telephone number from the VoIP provider and they will send the call to the analogue telephone adapter.

do you mean map incoming or outgoing calls?

for incoming - not possible unless you manage your own ISOLATED (from PSTN and other voip operators) voip network. Then you may route any number to whatever you want voip device.
for outgoing - possible, the mapping is really done witn voip service provider

Nopius: I meant for incoming calls. what about what grblades describes? is that only for outgoing calls?
I have a dedicated freebsd server sitting on an OC-3 connection with asterisk, I'm thinking about using asterisk functionality in a blog based web application. is this what you mean by an isolated voip network?

grblades: all of the voip providers I search for seem to be targetting individuals, do you know of any providers in north america that could maybe offer a deal on a set of say, 20 lines? could you address what Nopius said about it not being possible on incoming calls? thanks
