I'm reading the O'Reilly "Asterisk the definitive guide", 4th ed, with a starfish on it. In some ways, astonishing that it's not really that definitive, it's more general -- and it only clocks in at one ream of paper!
In any event, I'm having some port problems on my home network: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/81752/ I need to open ports for Asterisk to work even on a local level. so I'm just asking in general. For SIP to SIP peer calling, and by that I just mean "ring" or "beep," some sort of ping, basically, just configure the two softphones to use the IP address for the Asterisk box? also: tleilax:~ # tleilax:~ # asterisk -V Asterisk 1.8.32.1-vici tleilax:~ # tleilax:~ # asterisk -rm Asterisk 1.8.32.1-vici, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2013 Digium, Inc. and others.
