[Asterisk-Users] Newbie....

[Hall, Eric M.]

Could I do things like call other ext on the system? Check Voice mail? I
would like to test this before I put money in cards I may not need. What
Software Phone app is people using?


Thanks for all the help so far.

You can certainly use Asterisk without Digium hardware. But some
applications will not work out of the box, like music on hold and
meetme. For them to work you may need to compile ztdummy (uncomment the
appropiate line in zaptel Makefile), and make sure that your sip clients
transmit silence. If you are running RedHat or Fedora, start asterisk
with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 Good luck,
