asterisk users - Dec 2003 - PBX Functionality How-to

Hello,

I had a partner of mine present a Centrex 21 brochure and ask how many of
those features can I fulfill.  There is nothing out of the ordinary, it's
stuff like call hold, call forward, 3-way calling, etc.  Has anyone
assembled a how-to that shows how to configure PBX or Centrex type
functionality?  I found one in the voip-info wiki but only a couple of
topics were filled out.

Does anyone have any example perl agi script that does a database get. I am
being thick and can't seem to get the return value:

print "DATABASE PUT big bigger biggest \n";      This bit works fine
print "DATABASE GET big bigger \n";
Now what do I do to get the my value from the database get??

Could you at least read the documentation around here before you ask for
someone to do your work for you. If you can't be bothered to read the
documentation, at least offer to pay one of the fine consultants on the
list to do your work.

One thing Centrex is that Asterisk is not is a turn key
system.  With Asterisk you have to either build the PBX your
self or pay someone to build yu one.  With Centrex you
simply write a check.

THat said, you can build  anything you want so of cource the
feature list can match.

The best way to learn what it can do is to build a small PBX
with just a couple extensions.  Try to build in all the
funtionality you need in your larger system.  

If you get into trouble you may want to ask __specific__ questions
like "I want to make XXX work, I triedd XXX and YYY but I still
have this problem it it?   You may have to post 50 questions
like that one at a time.  But you will get answers.  Asterisk has
a learning curve.  expect it to take a few weeks of study

But the bottom line is that Asterisk will do quite a bit more
than Centrex.  I don't think Centrex does VOIP at all
