anyone play with Asterisk before? (VOIP stuff)

Post by Talaena »

I just installed CentOS 5.3 on an old box and Asterisk; bought a Linksys SP3102 - which is like a gateway between my regular phone line and VOIP dialing. I am trying this for work first, then probably doing this at home.

What I expect to accomplish, for home use mainly, is to be able to cull Qwest down to a dialtone, no added services. no VM, or LD charges (those are $35+ a month after taxes and fees) and let Asterisk handle all that stuff for me.

I'm implementing it at work so we can have voicemail->email forwarding and really to dump this Avaya phone system that I'm not fond of.

Anyone had any experience with it? I just installed it today, and so far I have incoming and outgoing calls playing a monkey sound file; that's about it. :D

Interested in how it turns out though.
