I have started to receive a lot of positive response for the Asterisk@Home project. For those of you unfamiliar with this project the goal of Asterisk@Home is to make a full featured version of Asterisk very easy to install. We have created a 1 step .iso that installs RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) and Asterisk. It includes a web GUI that allows easy editing of the Asterisk Config files. Asterisk@Home has many other features including xPL (home automation) support, database integration, and usage statistics. If you would like to try it for yourself you can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/asteriskathome/ I have received some questions on Asterisk@Home from this list and from my page on voip-info.org here a few answers. 1. I tried to install Asterisk@Home on my XXXX pc and it says it don't support my system. Asterisk@Home is based on RHEL 3 Linux. RHEL 3 does not support many older systems. You should have at least a 300MHz PII. This may have been an oversight on my part but most of the info I have read on Asterisk says it does not run well on systems slower than this. Besides look on e-bay a dell Optiplex GX1, a great Linux and Asterisk box with good hardware support, sells for $34 (buy it now)! Seem like a worthwhile investment for Asterisk/Linux experimentation. If you really want to use Asterisk on slower hardware try Debian Linux it runs on almost anything and has good asterisk support. 2. I can’t connect to my network with from Asterisk@Home You can try the netconfig command. You can use netconfig to configure your network manually. You can check to see if your card is supported by RHEL. If it isn’t you might have to compile a driver for it (yuck!). Your best bet is to use generic hardware that is known to work well with Linux (see above) you could also buy a network card that works with Linux (3com work well) 3. I would like to use my strange-ass ISDN/TAPI/PSTN/VOIP/phone thingy with Asterisk can you help? Asterisk@home is designed to be a starting off point for Asterisk experimentation. It supports some basic hardware. But beyond that try this mailing list or the ever useful voip-info.org. These resources will help you get just about any type of telephone interface known to man working with Asterisk! Hope this helps. -Andrew __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi Andrew, The netconfig command worked but when I ticked used dhcp it would not bring up the eth0. I had to go back in and enter it manually for it to work. After this I was able to log in via http://ip/maint and poke around (didn't do anything will have to wait for tomorrow). One comment I will make is that there is no way to get back to the first 'page' once you enter into the config section. You need some type of header across the top which links back to start page.

Is there a forum for Asterisk@Home? It's a great Asterisk option but I have some questions and this forum doesn't seem the right place to ask.

It's a pretty active forum too, though if you have AMP related questions then sometimes better to ask them in the AMP sourceforge forum https://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=121515 Cheers, Dean ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of C.

Have any of you tried this? http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/ I'm thinking of using this version. I'm debating between it and Knoppix with Asterisk thrown in there as well. I'm a linux newbie for the most part, but can get around and get done what I need done with help here and there, but I don't know if *@Home is all what I need. Here is what I need * to do for me pretty much. -Voicemail -Conferencing -IM callbacks (Instant message from my cell and it calls me back) -Extentions -A few other things which I can handle I've used * a tad bit in the past, no real heavy work with it though. I would think that the GUI in *@Home would make Asterisk less functional. Seeing as how I'm not using this for some large business or anything, just as something so listeners of a radio show I do can interact, I don't think *@Home would be WAY too restrictive on what I need accomplished. If you have used this before, can you post a review on what you think of it or just tell me if this will suit my needs or not?
I'm actually talking to someone I have high respect for on this topic right now, he has me convinced. I'm going to try it out.
I think Asterisk@Home will work well for what you want to do. The GUI also allows you to edit the config files. it just saves time it dosn't reduce the functionality of Asterisk. if you get the IM callbacks feature working I would be interested. This would be a great feature to include in Asterisk@Home --- Scheda <scheda@gmail.com> wrote:> Have any of you tried this? > > http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/ > > I'm thinking of using this version.

With AMP built into Asterisk@home configs are a snap. Plus its has its own mailing list. Jeff
