Tim - My recommendation to you is to get Asterisk@Home. It sets up the Linux and most of the Asterisk for you. Up and running in under two hours. I personally did not want to dig into all the crap in Linux and a lot of the Asterisk setup, so this was a great option for me. Now I'm exploring more about Asterisk without all the pain of having to do it all up-front. ------------------------------ Message: 17 Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2005 11:28:37 -0400 From: "Tim King" <tim@compnetwork.net> Subject: [Asterisk-Users] WHat does it take To: "'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion'" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Message-ID: <200508021528.j72FSkXG002687@freebsd.shoppersview.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" How many times do you ask for help here before getting a respone?
