[Asterisk-Users] parameters documentation

The people who have been documenting Asterisk have been working on a book 
for the last few months, it has been published by O'reilly (Asterisk-The 
Future of Telephony)and is just now finding it's way into the major 
bookstores, listed under Open-Source at Barns&Noble.

While it will not answer everything asterisk can do, but its glossery and 
and appendix are very helpful for quick reference.  If you have been 
following the Asterisk Documentation Project, some of it will be old hat, 
but I'm looking forward to replacing my huge stack of printouts with it.

It gives a pretty good overview of VOIP, Networking, Telephony, etc.
