asterisk users - Jun 2006 - New Member, saying Hi. :)

Hello everyone.

I had heard about this open-source PBX once a while back.
 I wasn't too interested in it at the time but I kept the info filed away
for possible future use.  A couple of days ago, I was walking around Barnes
and Nobles and I found this book, called Asterisk: The Future of Telephony.
 I paged through it a little and I was really excited by what I read.  Then
I remembered the open-source PBX I had read about before: it was Asterisk!
 This book was about that open-source PBX.  It was very enlightening and I
decided to buy the book so I could learn more.

When I got home, I read
through a few chapters and I also started looking online to find a download.
 I somehow managed to find a ready-made "appliance" called PoundKey
which
I downloaded and installed on my spare PC.  Now I got confused because I
wasn't
sure where to go from the command-line prompt.  So, I'm starting over at
square
one and I am going to download plain-jane Asterisk and get it running on a
Knoppix HD installation... I hope.  :)

Anyway, this has been a brief (trust
me, brief is good!) introduction of myself to the group.  I'm sure I'll
be
asking lots of questions.  :)

Welcome to our world.  You will find yourself up nights thinking of all the
possibilities and kicking yourself all day because you can't get them all
done :)

Good luck.
