<DIV><BR></DIV>Hey all <BR><BR>Don't know if any of you have had any
experience with Asterisk..? <BR>(No not the little cartoon character with a
fat friend from Gaul)<BR>
<DIV class=moz-signature>We decided that as all our staff work from home we
would get some sip phones. We plugged them in and set them up to connect to
FWD and it sort of worked. However we needed something a littel more reliable
so I installed my own sip server at the office.<BR>took all of 5 mins to
download it and make:make install (Shortly afterwards I found I could have
typed emerge asterisk)<BR>A few hours of ponsing about with config files and
we found a site that had a setup guide for a basic setup.<BR>With a bit
tweaking 5 minutes later we where phoning each other over IP and down VPNS
.... Leaving Ansaphone messages and collecting them via email..<BR>I am now
ordering the PCI card to interface to analogue phone lines.. <BR>by the way
the config was only 3 text files which I am happy to share if any one wants a
kickstart. and we are using grandstream phones and also a software phone.
<BR><BR>anyway worth a mention i thought<BR><BR>-- <BR>Kind
Regards<BR><BR>Simon Chappell<BR></DIV>
