Perhaps my thinking on this issue is wrong. Do we need to keep up with all the latest upgrades? I am thinking to install this thing and let it run for a long time (I would hope with very little need to touch it.) We are not a feature hungry shop, just looking for basic phone system for 60 people that works for a reasonable cost.
I was using the older software because I wanted to follow the documentation in the book as close as possible to maximize the benefit of using the book. Once I feel like I know what I am doing I can do another install with latest software and update my tutorial.

I would also second the notion of going with CentOS 5 as opposed to CentOS 4. If the whole point of your upgrade is to avoid having to do another upgrade it would be a good idea to use newest current versions of the software in question. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
