Hello List, I recently found out about Asterisk from an article on http://onlamp.com I thought I'd install it and try it out for a learning experience. I set it up following the way the article did it, then figured out how to make X-Lite and Windows Messenger connect to it. The only problem I have with it is that it takes over the sound devices so that other programs such as Gaim can't run. Is there any way to disable this behaviour? I'd really like to be able to use it for more than just a dedicated asterisk server. I also run an irc server, web server, ssh server, and client programs. I'd love to run this along with the rest, but it prevents me from running some of the client programs. I'm running everything on an old Dell Dimension XPS (300Mhz Intel processor) 80 gig hard drive 192 megs RAM Slackware 9.0 Thanks for any suggestions (and it's not a critical application, but I do use it for voice mail from friends.)

One way is to add "noload => chan_oss.so" to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf -- you just won't be able to make calls from your console Sam -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Stefan Johnson Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 12:22 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk takes over Hello List, I recently found out about Asterisk from an article on http://onlamp.com I thought I'd install it and try it out for a learning experience.
