IMHO: I started with AAH pre TrixBox and soon thereafter moved to a 
clean * install and learned to create my own dial plans.  Not to say 
that AAH is bad, it's just so "advanced" that I personally don't 
think I learned much if anything from using it.  If you intend to use 
and stay with that solution then by all means use it, but in the end 
for me it didn't do anything other than prove * would work for me and 
teach me that it was more trouble to learn AAH than it was going to 
be to just start using *.   And again, I'm not trying to knock 
TrixBox, but it's a box and if you fit in it, it's probably the best 
thing there is. Personally, when I started, it seemed too small and 
limiting so I learned to program my own dial plans.  It's not trivial 
as the language we've been given is not really well thought out and 
poorly documented at best, but in the end it's done everything I've 
asked of it.
