You have already had several good answers but none included these intro articles by John Todd which IMO are an excellent intro to the whole thing:
Starting from zero: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/07/03/asterisk.html The second article adds a bit of hardware to interface with PSTN http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/01/22/asterisk2.html The excellent effort http://asteriskdocs.org (I think I contributed about 6 lines here) contains some interesting, easy to assimilate concepts by showing how a movie theater might make an IVR menu, for example. Every day, 10 people come to IRC and ask questions that show they haven't the foggiest idea what a dialplan, a context or an extension priority is. Reading just the above three docs will give you that and a lot more. _______________________________________________ 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
