[asterisk-users] RAW asterisk!

[Larry Costigan]

"Asterisk:  The Future of Telephony" aka the "Starfish Book" (becuase of the
starfish on the cover) is a great place to start...

O'Reilly and the authors have been kind enough to make the entire book
freely available online:

Have fun... And welcome to Asterisk!!

:-)
