Asterisk Setup for noob...

[NY Tel Guy]

It worked! I got it installed. Quite a few steps. It took a little longer than I thought, before I knew it the time was 3:30 in the morning and I had to work at 9.

So tonight I get to play!

I will keep you guys posted. Thanks for the help

Oh and the CD-R worked much better.

I had an employee who worked for me once and his name was Devin, his brother was bevin and there was a third son with a rhyming name. True story.
Perhaps you are the missing link.

Did you end up going with 1.4 or 1.6?
So far Asterisk 1.6 with FreePBX 2.5 seems pretty slick. I need to play some more with it, but after the wife goes to sleep or something..

I played it safe and installed the 1.4. I figured I had enough to learn with out dealing with beta problems. I will probably upgrade, I am gluten for punishment. I feel the best way to learn is to get down and dirty and not to be afraid to break it. You can always reinstall.

I got "her" going, updated and all. I have not installed a Trunk yet. What settings have you all found to work here? tweakings? Will I be able to use sip.voipwelcome.com? I assume so, like I said I am learning this all.

I have installed a softphone and was able to play with the voice mail and got that all jazzed up- with weather what a dork I am. I just have not attempted to place outside calls. I will tonight!!!

It could be true, I am adopted... Did they just work through the alphabet?

"Honey I just loved how Bevin sounded lets name our next Cevin oh and Devin and when we get to Zevin everyone will know we are nuts."

The physical education teachers had a good time with me in high school.

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them.

It's either my mom or my dad... or, maybe my older brother Colin or my younger brother Ho-Cha Chu. But I'm pretty sure it's Colin.
