asterisk users - Nov 2010 - echo calls

Hi, Complete Asterisk noob here,

I just have a few general questions I need to ask before I start
installing it:

If I want to setup Asterisk simply to respond to echo calls (SIP calls
from a softphone only), do I need to install AsteriskNow as well, or can
I simply configure dialplan to do that?

Thanks,
Ali

'echo calls' doesn't mean anything to me. What does it mean to you?

AsteriskNow = Linux + Asterisk + [FreePBX | AsteriskGUI].

Whether you choose a GUI interface or not, Asterisk still executes a 
dialplan which you can see by entering 'dialplan show' at the CLI
prompt.
