I have a working telephony system at this stage with outgoing and incoming. What I'm missing is that new user hand-holding and hope you'll forgive me if these questions seem silly.

The questions are perfectly fine and the feedback from people coming
from other products is valuable for us.

yes, the apache with mod_perl is still required by the SOAP API, however
the Web panels themselves are provided by the nginx.

The one on port 443 is the old customer self-care panel, where
subscriber can login using his Web username and password. This is going
to become obsolete in the near future

We don't have such a page at the moment. You may choose between the REST
and SOAP API :)

BTW, is there any reason for using the version 3.2.2 ? The latest
version is currently mr3.4.2. However, as I see after a recent hardware
failure on www.sipwise.com we don't have the documentation for the newer
versions online, sorry for the inconvenience.

The upgrade path for you would be: 3.2.2->3.3.2->3.4.2, similar
instructions apply to all versions:
