Which software do I use?

Asterisk Asterisk Support

I am totaly lost, I spent a lot of time in this forum trying to understand the basic features of Asterix…

Any help is trully highly apreciated.

I have 5no. SPA3102 linksys and I also have 5 accounts with voxalot.

  • I can directly call any of my SPAs whererver i am in the word for free, by just dialing the voxalot number…
    I want to implement Asterix to be independent of Voxalot or any other free service like fwd, etc…, I have a Windows desktop PC which is always connected to the internet and can be dedicated it for Asterix…

my question is very basic and simple to take off:

1- What do i need to use? Asterisk 1.2.18? Asterisk 1.4.4 ? AsteriskNOW Beta 5? Asterix@home? they are many!! :open_mouth:
2- where can I start reading? as i mentioned above, I only need to use it ro call ATA to ATA? I hope that it is not very complicated…

Thanks in advance,
Nakkoush

No, it’s not - provided you reverse the order of the questions. Reading the free O’Reilly book (mentioned in the sticky) would be a very good start. Since you use a Windows machine, download a VMWare player and a TrixBox “VM appliance” (both free) could help somewhat - but not while you are reading the book - read AsteriskHome user’s manual instead. (Also in the sticky.) If you are very unfamiliar with Linux, you would start by reading about (and playing around) Linux first.
