I want to play around with asterisk... I have a machine with a modem in it, and I want to learn configuration and how to use it. But someone told me, that this system doesn't work woth modems.... if this is the case, then what specs do I need to run a minimal system? -- ***** Not everyone is touched by an Angel.... .... Those that are, never forget the experience *****

You could do it with a couple of soft phones if you have enough PCs to go around - I did this a little bit, just to play. Then I forked out for a Cisco 7940 and ATA-186 off eBay so I had some real phones to play with.. then I forked out for the Dev Kit Lite (see - it gets addictive, this Asterisk stuff!). So now I have a box that can accept 1 phone line and 1 analog/POTS phone, with a Cisco 7940 connected, and sometimes I play with X-Lite (from www.xten.com) to test stuff further. Hope this helps Paul
