I have had OpenVPN and Asterisk running together, with both Linux and 
Windows clients for about 2 years now. As the others have already 
pointed out - you really should sort out your OpenVPN setup first and 
basic connectivity first between client and server - before starting to 
wonder what is happening on the Asterisk side of things.

I'm not sure what book you read on OpenVPN - but if you read carefully 
and follow the step by step instructions on OpenVPN.net (under Community 
Edition) - you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a basic, 
certificates based connection working.

I am a subscriber to the openvpn users mailing list as well - and if you 
follow the steps and still get stuck - feel free to post there what 
you've done so far and what is not working - and I'm sure people will be 
happy to point you in the right direction.

Incidently - I use QuteCom (qutecom.org) and X-lite on Windows, and 
Linphone, Twinkle and Ekiga on Linux as clients - if it helps.
