I am trying to get an initial setup up and going which I assume is a very common question here. My basic questions are the following: Can I get Asterisk up and going without voice cards using it with SoftPhones internally as a proof of concept. (just calling extensions and leaving voice mail) Is there a jump start config that would accomplish this? What is the recommended SoftPhone that is "Open Source" Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After that, if you type "make samples" you get the samples configs put in, which lets you leave voicemails, call digium via IAX, etc. http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm Is a very nice intro.> What is the recommended SoftPhone that is "Open Source" ?Open Source I guess it would be GnoPhone Free: Windows Messenger (not MSN Messenger) X-Lite NetMeeting cheers, -- Woody

Others have already replied to this, but I'd add that I started out with an article from O'Reilly that explained pretty well how to get asterisk going: <http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/07/03/asterisk.html?page=1> Jonathan -- Jonathan Hogg Director, Technology Seventh Wave Systems Ltd. 4-14 Tabernacle Street London EC2A 4LU Telephone: +44 20 7074 0423 <http://www.seventh-wave-systems.com/>
