Any pointers would be great!! Thanks edGet the book - it's now free to download (PDF) http://cdn.oreilly.com/books/9780596510480.pdf Also, a good intro to the technology is another O'Reilly book: "Switching to VoIP". There's also a good wiki at: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/ which has a lot of asterisk content in it (I find it handy to check the syntax of config files when I'm unsure of something or another) GordonAnother option would be to install something like FreePBX.. look up AsteriskNOW on google.. I suspect Gordon is about to explode in my general direction, but hey..
Why? I don't really give a shit what people want to install, but you probably won't actually learn anything by installing a pre-built GUI type of system - however you might have something that works out of the box...
Ed asked for books or tutorials about how to set it up - I supplied some answers...
FreePBX is a stand alone GUI type of system - to make it work you'll need some sort of already working system. (Linux, Asterisk, posibly MySQL, etc. already running)
AsteriskNow is a complete Linux distribution which offers the choice of FreePBX, or the AsteriskGUI front-end (or none)
Trixbox/Elastix/pbx-inna-flash are complete Linux distributions that incorporate asterisk and FreePBX...
I've "upgraded" 2 sites now who decided to DIY an asterisk installation using Trixbox and found it wasn't quite what they wanted. A great way to double my daily rate too.
