asterisk users - Sep 2009 - dCAP Exam

Hi folks, 

Is there anywhere I can possibly get a model of the exam itself, maybe
possible scenarios for the prac, etc? 

To people who have done the exam....any helpful hints ? 

Thanks,

The practical is open-book.  You're welcome to look up anything you want,
but
the time constraint pretty much guarantees that if you know what you're
doing,
you can pass the practical.

Hmm...so by open book, that means access to the internet? Possible to
get own notes ? 

The most helpful thing would be a past scenario, something that has come
up in previous dCAP exams.

Can anyone send in a short descriptor of the final prac [real scenario
that has happened before?]

I'm not worried about the content, it's an example that I'm after,
so
that I don't get thrown by it. :)

Thanks Tilghman, :)

Hi All,

Thanks for all the wonderful contributions, from cell phones right up to
proxies, etc...

Many thanks also to Tony Turner for the great advice.

As for Jared, what can I say...simply legend... :) 

I believe this is what I was after.

:)

For all those attending Astricon....See you there!

Without going into too much detail on the exact details of the dCAP
exam, the general idea is this:  A small company has hired you to build
a typical small-business PBX using Asterisk, and you have 90 minutes to
get it up and running.  Given the time constraint, we really stick to
the basics, so there shouldn't be anything unexpected during the test.
