Hello, first of all, I just want to say thanks for reading my post.
I just started an internship at a company that runs Asterisk for their phone system and I am a novice to this system. I am reading Asterisk, the Future of Telephony and I am finding out a lot of information. However, I just want to know how to access the system. Can I do this from my Windows box(only started yesterday) or do I need to install a version of Linux in order to access it?
From windows, you can use a free program called Putty to secure shell into the linux server running asterisk. Here is the link: chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta … nload.html
Install linux on that for starters seeing as you are new to linux… Don’t be afraid of breaking anything. It’s only a virtual machine. The more you break the more you learn.
