[Asterisk-Users] Learning the Ropes of *

[Barry FAWTHROP]

In having configured my first * server there are a few questions I could not 
understand or find answers to

1) How does one use ztmonitor to adjust the rxgain and txgain. I have set 
mine to -1.0 each to get rid of echo on std phones connected on the TDM10B 
FXS module

2) Is it best to use a TDM card with an TFX and FXO module or is the the FXO 
= X100p and FXS on TDM a good method?

3) How do I disable mgcp, skinny etc that I will not be using ? Asterisk 
loads / scrolls a lot when you start it.

4) How do I calculate/assess the Load * is placing on the server? I'm using 
a 2.0 Ghz Pentium III, 1 GB Memory. top shows good stats.

5)  Why do I get "pixelating" (sorry I'm a video guy) on a call?  Every now 
and again, you hear these strange beeps, and tweets in the middle of your 
call. at random times.

6) Where can one post thier configs to check / validate that they are good, 
and no overloading the server ?

I thank you all in advance
