It sounds like David wants to roll out asterisk box for the purpose of
business use.
David I'd recommend getting on* irc.freenode.net and joining the
#asterisk* channel as you will get real time help there.
Alternatly if you are looking at using asterisk for a business purpose
digium does sell asterisk business edition in which they will help you
set it up.
alternatly if anyone in taug wants to just try out voip for free, just
let me know and ill set you up with an account on my box here in
toronto(not to be abused please)
Regards,
Philip Mullis

David,
Before you run out for a FXO card I would seriously look at your Voip
options as most cities in Ontario offer some of the best quality and
priced voip services in North America.
This would allow you to try out Asterisk without the investment in a
card - and even more importantly the configuration is even easier.

I am new to the list and have joined since I wish to experiment
with IVR and hope Asterisk is a good way to do so. Other features
of Asterisk will be handy to have also. As well as learn something
about VoIP.
Anyway, I would like to create an IVR system that:
- allows the caller to identify themselves (id/pin)
- accesses an SQL Server DB,
- allows them to hear the account status
- allows them to hear their current bookings
- allows them to book new trips (perhaps by talking to an
operator)
- allows them to cancel trips (perhaps by talking to an operator)
- optionally call them prior to an upcoming trip
The overview IVR documentation for Asterisk is sketchy, so I need
to ask does this seem like a reasonable thing to do with Asterisk?
If so:
I will be using analogue phones.
I would like to know a good card to buy and where I can buy it.
From what Iittle I have been told the Sangoma cards are a better
bet for analogue quaility.
Can someone recommend a card model to purchase, give me a rouch
guess as to the cost, and suggest a place to get one? (I live in
the south-east end of the old city of Toronto but can drive
anywhere in the GTA if need be.)
Any recommendations on the linux distro to use? I've downloaded a
Asterisk live cd iso but haven't burnt it yet. Likely I'll script
in perl since I am familiar with it (unless there are compelling
reasons to use something else).
Thanks in advance,
Dave
P.S.
Are there any install workshops coming up?
Is it possible to access Bell's 10-4 network through Asterisk?
