Asterisk Setup for noob...

[scott2020]

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!!!
