hi there, i'm looking for suggestions and guidance. I have a vps host with gentoo on it, i dont think the vps is stable enough to ensure a good quality of service, but it could just need an upgrade, no big deal. I need a phone and the way i decided to go was to get a connection to the internet and use voip or similar services.
I've looked into several ideas, but the last one that remains a good 'deal' is to set it all up myself, for free (but lots of work)! I'm thinking on setting up asterisk, but having read about it in the past, i know as soon as i set it up it will take more of my time than my girlfriend ever dreamed of! It seems extremely difficult to setup, specially for a newbie, I'm wondering if you guys know of a few good guides (that you have experience with, i can google too) for this and if you had any suggestion, pointers, starters mostly... I've read those, but I'm sure there are a lot of surprises not covered by these... http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Linux+Gentoo http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Asterisk Thanks for any help! -- When Earth was the only inhabited planet in the Galaxy, it was a primitive place, militarily speaking. The only weapon they had ever invented worth mentioning was a crude and inefficient nuclear-reaction bomb for which they had not even developed the logical defense. - Asimov
