I downloaded version 1.4 of the s/w and unpacked the /doc directory. I don’t even find anything which gives me an overview of the software.
Did I miss something?
What are other people doing for documentation? or are other people using other free products with superior docs?
the best soruce is the wiki
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk
also very good is the book “Asterisk: The Future of Telephony” - available as a download and in most bookstores.
does this book cover asterisk 1.4?
It doesn’t. You will have to adapt.
Actually, the 2nd Edition does cover 1.4. Here’s a link to Amazon:
