My 2c worth... For the beginner, AAH is great. The PC that you install on will be totally reformatted / fdisk-ed (assuming single drive - etc).
With AAH 1.3 - the installation "goes to sleep" and sort of finishes when its Syncing with a Time Server. A reboot at this point seems to do no harm. As Asterisk is configured via AMP - you are limited in functionality as to what AMP can do for you - but one can edit the config files directly as well for custom configs. (I needed to program an incoming (Fax) zap line to go to one particular extension) As it starts - there are a number of dialplan features which are quite cool, eg Time, Weather, Wakeup-Call, "You extension is..", VoiceMail, IVR, Do-Not-Disturb, FAX handling. Sure - these are all things Asterisk can do, but with the default asterisk download, you start with a pretty clean slate... My current AAH limitations include:- a) In IVR, no ability to program "or hold for an operator" timeout for the DTMF challenged. b) Support for junghanns cards (or HFC cards) c) Multi-Company support - Default is one primary IVR Just did an install with many extensions & 16 lines (4 x TDM400P) - 2 to Fixed line Cells, 14 to Telco (no "services" except DTMF dialing - its in East Africa). -- . . ___. .__ Posix Systems - Sth Africa. e.164 VOIP ready /| /| / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Mark J Elkins, Cisco CCIE / |/ |ARK \_/ /__ LKINS Tel: +27 12 807 0590 Cell: +27 82 601 0496 _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
