asterisk users - Sep 2005 - Re: Welcome to the "Asterisk-Users" mailing list

"Unable to login to the MySQL database 'tiki' on
'localhost' as user
'tiki'
Go here to begin the installation process, if you haven't done so
already.
Lost connection to MySQL server during query"

Hi, Everyone:

What is the URL of the "list archive"?
The 'wiki' seems broken.

  I want to connect to a single home POTS from an internet connection.
i.e. I want to be able to make telephone calls on my home POTS
from anywhere that I can obtain an internet connection with
a device with a microphone and a speaker. e.g. My laptop and a
headphone with boom microphone.  Does 'Asterisk' do this?
Should I look elsewhere for this task?

  If this is answered in the list archive, please respond with the
URL of the list archive.

Best regards,
Chuck

As listed at the bottom of each email on the list:
http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You can also use google: "SEARCH KEYWORDS site:lists.digium.com"

It's working fine from here

It's a bit overkill, but it can certainly do it!

As this is the premise of (*), being a software PABX, the entire list is
*full* of posts on this topic...

You might want to search for Asterisk @ Home (aka AAH, A@H) though...

PS: Please do not reply to an existing email to start a new thread,
neither with or without changing subjects, etc. It really screws up
threaded email clients. I had to page back all the way to my first email
to find your question, as it was sorted under *my* welcome email... (I
only did it because it showed 1 unread email, and I do not like unread
emails hanging around. Usually I have less time and just click 'mark all
read' when this happens, and I know there are many more. Also your mail
would have never come up if I had the thread marked for deletion... So
it's not only courteous, it's also good sense! <G>)

Just click new and send to Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com... Cleaner,
easier and it doesn't screw up threading in mailclients... (You can add
the list to your address book too!)

Good luck!
