OK here’s the setup…
Running Fedora Core 7 on a Dell Precision 420 Workstation, Asterisk build 1.2.23 loaded with all the proper requisites (libpri, zaptel, mpg)
We have a commercial carrier (Verizon) which we’ll be bringing in 4 phone lines into the server via 4 FXO cards (X100P), and we have 1 Linksys SIP1001 box to connect our in-house phone to. So incoming calls come in on the commercial lines, are processing on the server, and either routed to a) the in-house technician b) the on-site technicians cell phone or c) voicemail
Now…here’s our dilemma…We can get Asterisk to pick up an incoming call, utilizing the demo setup…however we haven’t figured out how to initiate a new call.

That last entry [sip1] was one we made to try and test to see if we could get a dialtone…so far no luck
We know these files are the heart of the Asterisk setup and we’ve got a basic grasp of what they mean, we just can figure out what’s wrong…
So if anyone has any pointers, or if we’ve missed something completely PLEASE let me know.
Thanks,
Flanders
