If anyone in here has had experience with Asterisk I would appriciate your help. I am trying to setup an Asterisk server with a single FXO card and SIP phones. I have read most of the asteriskdocumentation but am lost. If anyone has experience with setting up asterisk I need to know how to create the config files that I need and the extentions. Thanks in advacne.

Have you tried using the "Asterisk Manangement Portal?" You may try www.voip-info.org.

I too am getting ready to set up an Asterisk to study on. The first hurdle will be setting up Linux on one of our old computers. I experimented with Linux a few years ago and did OK, but wasn't impressed with its multimedia features. As for the Asterisk part, VoIP-info.org is a good place to start. I also found some documentation at <a href="https://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm">https://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm</a>. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes.

If you want to try Asterisk and don't know much about Linux (like me) you may want to try Asterisk@Home. You can download an .iso image and burn it to a CD. Put the CD in an old (or new) PC and power up. The CD will automatically setup Linux and Asterisk. You will be able to manage Aseterisk via a web browser from any PC on your network. It's really a simple setup. It is free and can be downloaded at https://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/

Asterisk@home is a great idea but far from being ready for production. IM: [email protected]

Asterisk@home is very very good. I use it at home and it's been fairly reliable. I've had no unplanned downtime. However, when you use an FXO card, I don't recommend that you use the cheap $10 generic cards (the echo is horrible), however, the Digium cards are pretty good (echo reduction, and better voice quality).

I tried @home and didn't like, I spent about three days on the voip-info.com in their * wiki and the related links. About the third day the light went on and things click, I realized that for a home lab with the "clone card" and SIP softphones I needed very little in the way of a config.
