We learnt as we went, and to be honest it went pretty well.

One of our contractor took the job on in order to learn her way around asterisk
and add it to her list of skills.

Thanks for the quick reply Kevin (and Dean!)...

It's the kind of answer I was hoping for.

The E1 has been used on a Hardware based PBX until a week or so ago, so I
can't see there being an issue there.

We are looking at replacing our existing PBX with an Asterisk Machine and the E1
live for another month before it gets switched off (we just switched providers
and now have an additional E1 kicking around doing nothing..)

Another question... and I know that it's all relative to experience,
complexity etc, but how long should I take into account to get some basic
voicemail, messages on hold, and basic IVR type stuff up and running?

We have several programmers / linux admins in house and they are pretty good at
what they do, and have been canvassing the lists to work out the details... but
we lack experience at the moment.

We have also been looking at various GUI's for Asterisk... (Asterisk@home
being one)... can anyone recommend one that would be ideal for a business user
in a basic small / medium office environment?

Thanks again,

Callum

If the hardware is functional and the E1 is provisioned properly, a decent admin
should be able to have Asterisk running and making test calls in a couple of
hours. That's a long way from 'done', though :-)
