asterisk users - Mar 2005 - lost newbie requesting help for Asterisk Implementation

Hi friends,

i`m totally a newbie on VoIP let alone asterisk.

I`m very much interested in learning asterisk to deploy on my small
Call Center, we have 2 audioCodec MP-108 8 fxs port SIP device and 6
A800 H323 analog quintums.

I installed fresh asterisk with samples, might b peice of cake for u
all but for its hard for me even to get 2 softphone installed on 2 pcs
to comunicate with each other using my Asterisk.

1st of all i want to learn how and wht i need to configure to use my 2
softphone comunicate on the internal network.

2nd i desparately need to figureout to configure MP108 and route out
800 number to land on asterisk and forward to 1 port of mp108 and use
the 7 port which i will assign to my seniors to so that 2 VIPs can
dial US and rest can dial UK numbers.

we have overseas call provider and currently we r calling from gnugk
openh323 server to place calls from quintums.

I am planning to aquire E1 card after i have successfully worked on
the above senerio, i have an iDCS and planning to configure it with
Asterisk for whole org.

I`ld very much apprecite if any 1 could guide me to implement asterisk
on my network please.
