telephony - What is the best way to get started using Asterisk? -


i'm interested in learning more asterisk (open source pbx) thought try building "hobby" system home. play around getting juiced voicemail system going family. is, until found out tdm11b kit digium costs on $500(!) if want fxo/fxs card echo cancellation.

my question(s) are: what's best way go learning asterisk? moreover, if want souped version of voicemail going @ home there way can without having buy expensive card hook pstn?

thanks,

you shouldn't need card hardware echo cancellation - home use should able standard tdm11b approx £115 , use software echo cancellation. alternatively can similar 'copycat' products cheaply off ebay or standard online stores (openvox 1 of these).

another way go separate adapter such spa-3000 1 fxs & 1 fxo.

probably advice ditch tdm altogether though , sip account provider of choice, , either pure sip phone or adapter such linksys pap2

if you're interested in learning asterisk i'd stay away gui versions (trixbox or asterisknow), you'll have steep learning curve once 'get it' you'll have far better understanding gui.
