Hello:  Cancel these questions.  It's looking more and more like I need 
to have a dedicated computer for proper Asterisk implementation, even 
for a home single line user.  I found the link for ordering O'Reilly 
Asterisk book.  Will spend time with that, first.  Thanks for those who 
have responded.  By the way, my AsteriskNow CD had no install guide with it.
