OK so if I want to port my existing business landline 480-947-6100 (in
the original Scottsdale WHitney 7 exchange) to an Asterisk box... how do
I go about doing that? Will Qwest even let me port an old number (which
I don't want to lose) like that? Who do I pay to handle the SIP
connection? Where do I start looking?

I ported my old Qwest # to a voip provider (vitelity.net).
The important part is to match the voip provider to your type of use.
99% of my calls are inbound so I chose an unlimited inbound plan and pay a little over 1 cent a minute for outbound calls if I use them. Porting takes a few weeks and it'll happen in an instant when it does; I had both set up and when it switched it was seamless.

Before you switch try it out.. if your bandwidth isn't up to snuff it'll drive you crazy.
I currently have 8 voip providers that I can use for outbound routes, several have DIDS for inbound calling:
vitelity.net
les.net
voicepulse.com
junctionnetworks.com
voipstreet.com
voipjet.com (outbound only)
Gizmo5.com (uses sipphone.com)
teliax.com

Stay away from broadvoice :)
