[Asterisk-Users] Re: Running asterisk without special hardware

[Manish Sapariya]

Hi,
I was going through some of the list postings...and I felt
like if want to do voip within a LAN, I might have to install
Asterisk on every machine.

I hope it is not the case.

What I understand is (or what I want is)

- Install asterisk on one of the machine on LAN
- Install softphone on all the machines who want
to participate in voip communication
- Configure softphones to use the asterisk as the
service provider (I dont know how to do this...will
figure out from the softphone i use)

Please correct me if I misunderstood something.
Thanks,
Manish
